NOTE 12 - SBIR GRANT

 

On June 23, 2023, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the Company a Direct to Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) grant of approximately $2.84 million to continue development of a novel, pan-flu multivariant mucosal vaccine using the Company’s Thin Film Freezing technology.

 

The purpose of the SBIR grant is to provide funding to support preclinical and IND enabling studies to advance the development of a shelf-stable dry powder formulation of a novel universal influenza virus vaccine, developed in the laboratory of Dr. Ted Ross at the Cleveland Clinic (previously of University of Georgia). Funding from the SBIR grant is expected to take place over three years.

 

Revenue from the SBIR grant will be recognized in the period during which the related qualifying services are rendered and costs are incurred, provided that the applicable conditions under the SBIR grant have been met. The costs associated with the SBIR grant will be expensed as incurred and will be reflected as a component of research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Funds received from the SBIR grant will be recorded as revenue as the Company is the principal participant in the arrangement because the activities under the SBIR grant are part of the Company’s development programs. In those instances where the Company first receives consideration in advance of providing underlying services, the Company will classify such consideration as deferred revenue until (or as) the Company provides the underlying services.
