NIIMBL invites submissions from interested parties to gather insights and ideas regarding the national scaling of the NIIMBL bioLOGIC program.
NIIMBL seeks to gather information from the community to better understand how a NIIMBL member organization would approach the implementation of a NIIMBL bioLOGIC program in their region by partnering with high schools, local industry, and institutions of higher education. While every implementation is unique and tailored to the needs of the region, the NIIMBL bioLOGIC program consists of the following core components:
- A Career Readiness Workshop in which students are exposed to different career paths in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
- A Kickoff and Problem Identification Meeting in which students are oriented to the program and identify a healthcare problem or challenge they want to focus on.
- An Industry Day (e.g., tour, classroom visit, virtual visit) in which students meet real professionals working in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
- A College Day (e.g., tour, classroom visit, virtual visit) in which students learn about post-secondary education options relevant to biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
- Business Model Creation, in which students develop a business model around their healthcare problem.
- Pitch Development, in which students develop a pitch around their proposed business.
- A Final Pitch Day in which students present their business and solutions to a panel of industry and academic stakeholders.
Note: This RFI does not constitute a solicitation for funding proposals. The information collected may guide the development of a future Request for Applications (RFA) for NIIMBL bioLOGIC.
The complete request for information can be found here.
We have provided a number of NIIMBL bioLOGIC documents to support your review and evaluation of the program to support an RFI response. These documents reference multiple additional forms that have not been provided.
If you would like to receive a printed evaluation copy of the student workbook, please provide your contact information in the form located on the NIIMBL bioLOGIC RFI web page. Requests for a printed copy of the student workbook should be received no later than September 4th in order to ensure time for review prior to the deadline.
Please note that these documents should not be used in the delivery of a NIIMBL bioLOGIC program.
