The purpose of this Grant Opportunity is designed to support the transition of projects that have previously received SBIR and STTR Phase II and Phase IIB grants in pain management towards the commercial stage.

The focus is on integrating entrepreneurial expertise into small business leadership teams and fostering partner activities that facilitate commercialization via third-party funding or industry partnerships.
