We’re pleased to announce that the IDeA Regional Entrepreneurship Development (I-RED) Program (STTR) funding announcement (RFA-GM-22-001) has been issued. The purpose of this initiative is to provide support for eligible small business concerns in each of the IDeA regions (Central, Northeast, Southeast, and West) to develop educational products promoting biomedical entrepreneurship in IDeA-eligible states. These products are expected to help academic institutions in these states translate scientific discoveries and technologies from research laboratories into commercial products.

The application due date is January 5, 2022.

We invite everyone who’s interested in this funding opportunity to join our informational webinar:

Monday, November 1, 3:00-4:30 p.m. ET

During the webinar, we’ll highlight critical elements of the funding opportunity and answer your questions. You can send questions to Behrous Davani prior to the webinar, or you can post them in the chat box during the event.

Slides from the webinar will be posted on the I-RED webpage following the event.
