iBIO members have ongoing access to the monthly GBG Grant Reports, provided through iBIO’s partnership with GBG (Grants-to-Growth) / G2G Consulting.
This month’s report features 170 funding opportunities across a wide range of scientific and medical fields, plus forecasts, notices of special interest, RFIs, and other timely items. Highlights include programs and updates from NSF, ARPA-H, DARPA, and CDMRP, along with additional opportunities that may be relevant to the life sciences community.
Webinar (May 21):
- 11:00–11:30am CT: Free and open to all
- 11:30am–12:00pm CT: Premium consultation session for GBG members
This partnership helps member organizations spot non-dilutive funding opportunities earlier, track emerging priorities across agencies, and align proposals with active programs—without having to comb through hundreds of separate postings.
