Summary of Grant Announcement. The NIH Funding Opportunity, entitled Innovations for Healthy Living - Improving Minority Health and Eliminating Health Disparities, is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant that seeks to fund projects aimed at the development of innovative products (i.e. diagnostics, treatments, and prevention strategies, etc.) and making these products available and accessible to racial and ethnic minority populations or other health disparity populations. Ideally, the proposed product will provide increased and more attractive opportunities for improved and better health, preventing and treating disease, and maintaining a long and healthy lifestyle. Specific areas of research interest, as it pertains to the proposed project, are: culturally appropriate, evidence-based health empowering promotion and disease prevention educational media such as software, informational videos, printed materials for health disparities populations and disadvantaged communities; and culturally attuned behavioral interventions or low-cost tools and technologies (e.g. software apps for mobile devices) that empower and promote opportunities for individuals and communities to engage in health-seeking behaviors (diet choice, exercise/physical activity, oral hygiene, medication adherence, child immunizations, etc.) and to avoid risky behaviors (smoking, alcohol/drug misuse, unsafe sex, etc.). Total funding for this type of grant typically does not exceed $150,000 for new applications. Congress allows awards to surpass this amount up to a hard cap of $225,000; however, due to a budget waiver that NIH received from the Small Business Administration, awards can exceed the hard cap for certain approved topics. Only small business concerns (SBCs) operating in the United States are eligible to apply for this grant. Specific criteria for SBCs are described in detail in the FOA.
