SHIFT SBIRs

NIH SHIFT SBIR Grants

The Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio) is pleased to be part of the new NIH SHIFT SBIR Initiative designed for small businesses. These grants seeks to bring business jobs to academic investigators - their shift from academia to industry (See the "SHIFT Connector" on how to proceed).

SoCalBio will function as a regional SHIFT information portal and matchmaker helping to connect academic investigators with interested companies in Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire and Gold Coast Communities.

Academics and companies interested in tapping SHIFT Grants can register to attend any of the following events to identify suitable partners.

	April 29, 4:00 to 7:00 pm: SoCalBio Networking Forum in Los Angeles: https://www.123signup.com/event?id=jyrvd
	May 28, 7:00 - 9:30 am: SoCalBio Networking Forum in Orange County: https://www.123signup.com/register?id=jyrcz
	June 30, 4:00 to 7:00 pm: SoCalBio Networking Forum in Ventura County: https://www.123signup.com/register?id=jyrch

During these networking forums, interested academics and participating companies will be allowed to set up poster shows and table-top displays to disseminate information about their work. SoCalBio will facilitate one-on-one meetings to help in the matchmaking process
