NIH Study Section Reviewer

If you have an early stage startup, one of the best sources of funds is the Small Business Innovation Research grant (SBIR). SBIRs don’t dilute your equity, providing essentially “free money” from the US Government but are extremely competitive. As an NIH panel chair, David Spellmeyer has inside intel about how SBIR/STTR applications are evaluated . David will discuss what a winning application looks like, the essential elements to include and how to get the reviewers’ attention. He will also inform us about the intricacies of the grant review process.
