Bioscience Companies Identify Sales Prospects Receiving NIH Funding for Biomedical Research

Austin, TX, May 01, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Each year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds tens of thousands of new biomedical research projects, conducted at a variety of research institutions. NIH maintains an online database of all funded projects, called CRISP, or Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects.

CRISPAlerts.com is a service that actively monitors the NIH CRISP database for select keywords and sends an email alert to the user when new grants are awarded that contain those keywords. The email alert contains full contact information and detailed project information for the newest funded research projects.

CRISPAlerts.com has the potential to be a rich source of targeted sales leads for life science companies as they are able to contact the principal investigator early in the project to ensure that the researcher knows of their products before they start purchasing supplies.

Other popular users for CRISPAlerts.com are academic or funding bodies who monitor the kinds of research other institutions are conducting and obtaining funding for. Researchers are able to find out what others in your field are doing and what types of projects are getting funded. Students can get help in researching your doctoral thesis as well as identifying opinion leaders or specialized institutions for job opportunities.

At ITB Design Ventures L.L.C., we’re devoted to helping the life sciences industry leverage the power of information technology. Our three-person partnership includes a tenured college professor, a Ph.D. working in the industry, and a seasoned marketing professional.
