The NIA SBA Program aims to support the discovery,
development and commercialization of new therapies,
novel devices, analytical tools, health care programs and
practices that will improve prevention and treatment, as
well as caregiving for patients with AD/ADRD.
Broadly speaking the NIA SBA Program will support
research that address the following topics:
• Prevention
• Diagnosis
• Treatment
• Care
• Analytical Tools
Application Types
• Phase I- feasibility and proof-of-concept
• Phase II-continue R&D initiated in Phase I
- funding is based on results achieved in Phase I + scientific and technical
merit and commercial potential of the project proposed in Phase II
• Fast Track- 1 application for Phase I and Phase II that is submitted and reviewed
together
• Phase IIB Competing Renewal- for projects that require additional funding
beyond the original Phase II award. These applications require competitive peer
review.
• Direct to Phase II- for Phase II R&D for projects that have demonstrated the
scientific and technical merit, feasibility and proof of concept
