What it pays for
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) provides global leadership for a research, training, and education program to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases and enhance the health of all individuals so that they can live longer and more fulfilling lives. The Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science (CTRIS) plans, fosters, and supports late-stage research to identify promising approaches for ensuring successful integration of evidence and evidence-based interventions within clinical and public health settings, such as health centers, worksites, schools, and communities in the United States and abroad. These approaches build on the successes in fundamental discovery science and early-stage translational research to ensure findings achieve maximal benefit for people and their communities. They also will help tackle new challenges in late-stage T4 translation research�the phase in the translational research pathway that leads to general knowledge about implementing evidence and evidence-based interventions�that helps turn discoveries into improved health.
CTRIS is the strategic focal point within NHLBI to catalyze opportunities for rigorous dissemination and implementation research to advance the creation, evaluation, reporting, dissemination, sustained adoption, spread, and scale of evidence-based interventions for the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. CTRIS is charged with integrating the domain expertise found in all NHLBI organizational units and leveraging the NIH-wide...

How applications are judged
The major elements in evaluating proposals include assessments of: (1) The scientific merit and general significance of the proposed study and its objectives; (2)the technical adequacy of the experimental design and approach; (3) the competency of the proposed investigator or group to successfully pursue the project; (4) the adequacy of the available and proposed facilities and resources; (5) the necessity of the budget components requested in relation to the proposed project; and (6) the relevance and importance to announced program objectives. The following criteria will be used in considering the scientific and technical merit of SBIR/STTR Phase I grant applications: (1) The soundness and technical merit of the proposed approach; (2) the importance of the problem the proposed research will address; (3) the qualifications of the proposed principal investigator, supporting staff, and consultants; (4) the technological innovation of the proposed research; (5) the potential of the proposed research for commercial application; (6) the appropriateness of the budget requested; (7) the adequacy and suitability of the facilities and research environment; and (8) where applicable, the adequacy of assurances detailing the proposed means for (a) safeguarding human or animal subjects, and/or (b) protecting against or minimizing any adverse effect on the environment. Phase II grant applications will be reviewed based upon the following criteria: (1) The degree to which the Phase I...
