The CAP consists of training workshops, individual mentoring and consulting sessions, and it culminates with an opportunity for companies to present their business opportunities to potential investors and strategic partners at the NIH Life Sciences Showcase. Participation is free; however, selected participants are responsible for their travel expenses to attend two required workshops and the optional showcase. Detailed program information, eligibility requirements, and application instructions are available at http://www.larta.org/nihcap/NIHCAP-ProgramDescription.pdf. The deadline for submitting an application is July 31, 2006. Approximately 125 companies will be selected to participate in this year's NIH CAP and will be notified by August 14, 2006.
