Description

The goal of this SBIR Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research to develop the next-generation of rapid tests and point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices.These tools must use oral biospecimens for detecting oral pathogens and biomarkers of associated oral diseases to facilitate their screening, monitoring and diagnosis.The ultimate goal is to produce highly reliable, reproducible, specific and sensitive tools for early detection and diagnosis of oral diseases, including those associated with HIV/AIDS.These methods must demonstrate superior technical performance compared with current technologies while not increasing costs and minimizing the invasiveness of specimen collection from patients.
