Pattern read

NHGRI funded 80 records / $49M with a tight focus on genomics: bioinformatics, biomarker discovery, sequencing tools, and adjacent health-services platforms. Median award is $400K. Concentration is high at 22.5%. A few specialized genomics-tool companies appear repeatedly. R44/R43 ratio is roughly 1.2:1, one of the most balanced in the dataset. STTR participation is modest. NHGRI's mission scope is narrow and well-defined; genomics-relevant framing is mandatory.

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.
