Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Medical Device Research Interest Group (MDRIG) meets quarterly to share information and ideas on supporting research throughout the development pipeline. Recent topics of interest include an early feasibility supplement for SBIR grantees that would facilitate grantee-FDA meetings and communication in the formative years in order to increase appropriate planning during the development of their technologies toward FDA approval. NHLBI is supporting a pilot of this concept and the group will incorporate feedback from this pilot into their planning. MDRIG is also planning to conduct a portfolio analysis to inform future grant funding. |
