Abstract:
This is an extension request to continue to collect data past the current expiration date. This effort supports the NIH Path to Excellence and Innovation (PEI) Program formed in accordance with Presidential Executive Order 13779, The White House Initiative to Promote Excellence and Innovation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The HBCU pre-solicitation portal is a tool to collect NIH contracts and grants data that HBCUs and their business teaming partners may be interested in pursuing. The portal provides a streamlined platform for NIH funding opportunities that consolidate information from four different Federal websites. Additionally, this tool has a social networking component that creates a space for HBCUs and businesses to collaborate as they pursue of NIH funding opportunities. Through the collection and analysis of this information, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Program Office (SBPO) assists in strengthening HBCUs’ ability to equitably participate in Federal funding programs.

Short Statement:
Over the past three years the application for the HBCU’s and Business Partners has not changed from a functionality perspective. The system currently has 62 respondents participating the program with 883 annualize burden hours. The number of respondents participating in the program have increased by 49 and the burden hours have increased by 697 hours. It is still the standard practice that in order for the HBCUs and small businesses to be accepted into the PEI Initiative and gain access to the portal, they will have to complete the appropriate application, see attachment 4 “PEI HBCU Application” or attachment 5 “PEI Business Partner Application”. The applications can be accessed through the links on the HBCU webpage https://oamp.hbcu.od.nih.gov/oamp.
