IFGA labs seek co-contributing partners for brain wellness technology
IFGA Labs is actively pursuing non-dilutive grant funding to accelerate clinical validation and pilot deployment of our ROME (Repeatable Objective Measurement of Eyetrack) platform. Primary targets include:
NIH SBIR/STTR Programs (Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer) — ideal for our neurotech/digital health solution. NIH BRAIN Initiative funding opportunities focused on neurotechnology, cognitive assessment, and oculomotor biomarkers. VA / DoD-related programs such as the BRAVE Funding Program, Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program (TBIPHRP), and veteran-focused innovation grants. State and regional veteran entrepreneurship grants (e.g., Veterans Florida initiatives).
What We’re Looking For in a Partner We seek academic institutions, research hospitals, universities with strong neuroscience or TBI programs, VA-affiliated researchers, or clinical sites interested in collaborative grants (especially STTR). Ideal partners have expertise in clinical trial design, oculomotor/neuropsychological testing, access to target populations (veterans, athletes, aging adults), and a track record of successful NIH/VA submissions. What IFGA Labs Brings
Defense-grade precision optical tracking technology rooted in founder William Howe’s Navy PMRF experience (SHOTS system). Functional ROME prototypes with explainable AI for rapid, non-invasive brain health biomarkers. Veteran-founded leadership with proven program management, statistical process control (RIT coursework), and entrepreneurial execution. Strong IP foundation, early traction (accelerators, pitches), and a clear path to real-world deployment in wellness and clinical settings.
Timeline Many FY2026–2027 opportunities have rolling or upcoming deadlines (e.g., NIH SBIR cycles in 2026, BRAIN Initiative RFAs through late 2026). We aim to submit joint proposals in the next 3–6 months. This partnership represents a high-impact opportunity to advance objective brain health tools while securing significant non-dilutive capital.

About IFGA Labs
IFGA Labs is an organization focused on simplifying, improving affordability, and increasing accessibility for brain health monitoring. The company is developing noninvasive, inexpensive testing solutions that allow individuals to track their brain health on their own schedules through local providers. By bridging the gap between clinical medical tools and general wellness products, IFGA Labs aims to empower people to monitor their cognitive health as part of their daily wellness routines.
This initiative is particularly significant for populations such as young athletes, soldiers in combat, and others at risk for traumatic brain injuries or post-concussion impacts. By collecting longitudinal data, the platform seeks to help users and their healthcare providers identify patterns that improve predictive medical outcomes. Led by veterans, the company is actively developing digital tools, including a mobile application, to shift public attitudes and provide actionable insights that help individuals proactively manage their brain health.
