seeking submissions

The U.S. government (USG) provides a portal as a single point of entry for the submission of meeting requests from interested stakeholders with promising MCM products, technologies, and capabilities.

seeking submissions

The USG seeks information from stakeholders on available medical countermeasures in development. We are particularly interested in products, technologies, and capabilities that have progressed into or beyond clinical trials, have established large-scale cGMP manufacturing capability, or utilize an approved platform. Information regarding diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and other products, technologies, or capabilities relevant to respond to public health emergencies are sought.

We ask for a brief description of your product technology, or capability, accompanied by a slide deck, manuscript, publications, or other non-confidential information of your choosing. Please note while we use information you present as market research; submission is no guarantee of a meeting or funding and your submission will be shared with our teams involved in medical countermeasure research and development. Only USG officials are invited to join TechWatch meetings and are bound by law to maintain the confidentiality of what is presented and discussed.

  • Relevant to the U.S. government medical countermeasure research and development efforts and/or Emerging Infectious Disease rapid response capabilities
  • Utilize an already-approved platform, have non-clinical data suggesting efficacy, and/or have significant manufacturing capability
  • Fully owned or licensed by your organization (you have full IP rights and/or freedom to operate)

TechWatch Meeting Process

Typically, TechWatch meeting submissions are reviewed within 30 days of submission. If your product, technology, or capability aligns with our program priorities it is likely we will contact you to set up a TechWatch meeting within an additional 30 days. Please note due to the complexities and priorities related to the pandemic slight delays in timing may result.
