On March 15, 2:00 – 4:00 pm EST, NIH is offering a webinar to help small business applicants prepare for the April 5 submission deadline. Participation in this interactive webinar is appropriate for those submitting for the first time who may be feeling overwhelmed as well as experienced applicants who may be finding it a daunting task given the recent Enhancing Peer Review changes that are now in effect.

The NIH-CAP is a great opportunity for you to move your technology to the next level and reap the benefits of market-oriented thinking and strategizing. Thanks for your interest and I hope to see you in the program.
