Over $50B (with a B!) is available each year to life science companies from federal agencies. The best part is, it's all non-dilutive funding. For example, the NIH's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program alone awards $1B each year. That's more annual funding than any VC! And that's just one of many SBIR programs available from US Federal agencies. Ram May-Ron, managing partner at FreeMind Consultants walks through the enormity and approachability of these federal non-dilutive programs. FreeMind Group helps life science organizations secure non-dilutive funding from US federal agencies and private foundations.FreeMind started in 1999 and has grown into the largest consulting group of its kind. With experience in seeking funding from nearly all NIH Institutes, Department of Defense, NSF, FDA, BARDA, etc., as well as private foundations, they’ve helped clients garner over 1.5 billion dollars to date. Awards range from $150,000 to $150,000,000 per project. If funding is on your mind - you need to consider what Ram has to say here. Show notes:https://www.freemindconsultants.com/Ram on LinkedInNIH.govMusic by keldezQualio website:https://www.qualio.com/ Previous episodes:https://www.qualio.com/from-lab-to-launch-podcast Apply to be on the show:https://forms.gle/uUH2YtCFxJHrVGeL8 Music by keldez
