Thank you, that is very helpful! As a follow-up, is there any way I can tell this from the solicitation? To me, the “Review and Selection Process” section for both FOAs look identical.
No, as you said, those sections are identical. You would know, however, when you review the list of SBIR/STTR study sections: https://public.csr.nih.gov/StudySections/SmallBusinessAndTechnologyTransfer as that study section linked above (Small Business: SBIR/STTR Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program) is listed there.
Thanks again for the above answer! Could you provide a brief summary of the main 2-3 changes in the new SBIR solicitation (e.g. PA-23-230) compared to the previous solicitation?
The NIH SEED office recently held a webinar to cover these changes. The Webinar was recorded and can be viewed at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLagJjfFKfw
