Pattern read
NIA has been one of the most active SBIR funders in the dataset: 533 records and $373M. The technology mix is heavily oriented toward health-services tools (caregiver platforms, remote-monitoring, fall prevention) and biomarker work for cognitive decline. Tool/assay and small-molecule therapeutic work appear next. Median award is $506K and the R44 share (296 of 533) reflects a steady Phase I-to-Phase II pipeline. Concentration is low at 5.6%. Many small companies have landed one or two awards rather than a small cohort dominating. STTR participation is meaningful (68 R41 records). Aging-relevant framing has been required across the portfolio; products without a clear over-65 use case have not landed even when the technology was strong.
