Event Information

Interested in learning about small business opportunities for women’s health research? ORWH is hosting a virtual webinar to discuss “Small Business Opportunities for Innovative Women’s Health Research.”

As mentioned in President Biden’s Executive Order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation, private sector innovation is a key aspect of accelerating and improving women’s health research. NIH is committed to further increasing—by 50%—its investments in supporting innovators and early-stage small businesses engaged in research and development on women’s health.  

Staff from the NIH Small business Education and Entrepreneurial Development (SEED) Office and several NIH small business programs will provide overviews of the small business program and institute- and center-specific interests.

The webinar will address the following:

  • Introduce the women’s health research community to small business opportunities
