Pattern read

NICHD funded 244 records / $152M. The portfolio is dominated by health-services technology for maternal, infant, child, and adolescent populations, with devices for pediatric and obstetric use, tools/assays, and small-molecule work for developmental disorders. Median award is $623K. R44 share (140 of 244) is dominant. Concentration is low at 5.7%. Population specificity is a hard requirement: products framed for adults without a pediatric/maternal/developmental adaptation have not landed here.

NIH SBIR/STTR funding decisions are made by Institutes and Centers based on portfolio priorities, NOFO scope, and program officer judgment. Historical funding patterns do not guarantee future funding.
