Catalyze NHLBI Funding Opportunities

The NHLBI Catalyze Program provides a comprehensive suite of support and services to facilitate the translation of basic scientific discoveries into viable therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics ready for human testing.

The program has three main goals:

• To drive development of new heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS)-related therapies and cures —including drugs, devices, diagnostics, and biologics—by supporting early product definition studies and safety testing
• To support development of novel, enabling platform technologies that catalyze next-generation predictive, diagnostic and therapeutic products. These products will specifically address HLBS-related disorders and diseases
• To train a diverse, globally competitive biomedical workforce that is well-versed in scientific research, technology development, and entrepreneurship

As an accelerator partner, WE-REACH can partner with projects to progress from the initial R61 phase into the R33 phase or to begin directly in the R33 phase.

By partnering with teams, WE-REACH provides milestone-driven project management and access to experienced entrepreneurs and scientists to accelerate development and maximize medical impact.
