SBIR 1997 Human Genome Awards Announced

In July 1997 the DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research announced three Phase I and two Phase II awards in human genome topics of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program (see box below). The highly competitive SBIR awards are designed to stimulate commercialization of federally funded research and development for the benefit of both private and public sectors. SBIR emphasizes cutting-edge, high-risk research with potential for high payoff in hundreds of areas, including human genome research. (Contact Information.)
