Changes to NIH Omnibus SBIR/STTR Solicitation...And More to Come
 by 
Jacob Setterbo, Director of Grants
 

 

Many small businesses benefit from government grants to perform research critical to product development. 

 

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs combine to provide approximately $700 million a year to small businesses.

 

The most flexible SBIR/STTR opportunities at NIH are the Omnibus SBIR/STTR solicitations, which allow small businesses to propose their own unique R&D efforts as long as these efforts align with at least one of NIH's wide-ranging research interests.

 

On January 24th, NIH released their latest Omnibus SBIR/STTR solicitations that include some, but not all, of the changes required to comply with the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011.

Get Ready for the New Era of Global Manufacturing
by
James Manyika, Katy George and Louis Rassey

 

This article from Harvard Business Review provides insight on the direction in which the global manufacturing sector is headed, exploring the catalysts for these changes and what this "new era" means for the future.

 

The global manufacturing sector is on the threshold of a dynamic new phase that will provide renewed opportunity for manufacturing firms - and a host of new challenges. Incumbents who can rise to the challenge - and upstarts who may find lower barriers to entry - could do very well, indeed.

What has changed to encourage such an upbeat view of manufacturing? We see two forces that will dominate global manufacturing in the coming decade. First we see major shifts in demand: developing economies such as China and India are morphing from the world's source of low-cost manufacturing capacity to the world's best market opportunities. In addition, customers everywhere are looking for more - including more services - from manufacturers. Second, we see a raft of innovations that will alter how products are designed, manufactured and sold - everything from nanotechnologies to 3D printing.

 T
hese forces will shift the dynamics of the global manufacturing sector. They will not, it must be noted, alter how the role of manufacturing evolves as economies develop. Manufacturing remains the driver of growth and employment when nations are developing - witness what's happening in China - and becomes less important as economies become wealthier and their service sectors account for the bulk of growth and employment. Then, manufacturing's most important role is as a driver of innovation, trade, and productivity. The new era will give manufacturing companies an opportunity to help their host economies in all of those areas; it will create high-skill jobs, particularly in design, big data, and other service roles, but not masses of production-line positions.
