We are thrilled to share the great news that Prapela has been awarded its first Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The grant will be used to advance the development of the Prapela SVS Hospital Bassinet for the treatment of newborns diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) – the condition newborns experience as they withdraw from opioids they were exposed to during pregnancy. Congratulations, Prapela!!
