Description

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Program Office serves as a counsel and advocate for small businesses at the NIH and represents NIH to the small business industry.

FUNCTIONS

  • Provides technical assistance to the NIH acquisition community.
  • Represents NIH at various small business outreach events.
  • Advises the NIH Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) on small business matters relating to the NIH.
  • Promotes the use of Small and Disadvantaged (SDB), Women-Owned (WOSB), Historically Under-Utilized Business Zone (HUBZone) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SBVOSB) Small Businesses for NIH contract awards
  • Supports the utilization of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) for NIH contract and grant awards.
  • Participates in training, counseling sessions, and industry day events. 

Additionally, housed in the Small Business Program Office are the following Initiatives, the Path to Excellence and Innovation (PEI 2.0) Initiative and the NIH HUBZone Consortium. The PEI Initiative is a tremendous opportunity for the National Institutes of Health to work more collaboratively with Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The mission of the PEI Initiative is to empower HBCUs with the knowledge, resources, and skills they need to effectively and consistently compete for and win contracts from the National Institutes of Health and thereby diversify revenue streams and create more research opportunities for those academic institutions. While the NIH HUBZone Consortium is committed to developing a common understanding of the capabilities that HUBZone firms can offer to achieve the NIH’s mission of enhancing the health of all Americans.

Please refer below for a listing of outreach activities for FY2023. 

  • October 2022 Vendor Outreach Engagement: This month's session will highlight the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The mission of NIEHS is to discover how the environment affects people to promote healthier lives. The studies conducted at NIEHS are often long-term and high-risk in nature and involve unique components, such as epidemiological studies of environmentally associated diseases, toxicological testing of environmental substances, and intervention and prevention studies to reduce the effects of exposures to hazardous environments.
