This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Research and Entrepreneurial Development Immersion (REDI) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant applications. The goal of this FOA is to foster the career development of early-career scientists with an interest in entrepreneurship by simultaneously supporting their entrepreneurial development and facilitating their transition to industry.

This FOA utilizes the R43/R44 Industry Development Award to provide small business concerns (SBCs) the opportunity to support the hiring and salary of postdoctoral fellows and early-stage researchers as Principal Investigators/Program Directors (PIs/PDs) to increase their scientific research staff and support product development. Additionally, a major component of this FOA is a strong focus on entrepreneurial training, mentoring, and career development of the PD/PI. Postdoctoral fellows and early-career researchers with strong research skills and experience in technology discovery, and that have an interest in growing their entrepreneurial skillset and working in the industry, are optimal PD/PIs for this award.
