Vida has received a Phase I research grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to study youth violence prevention training for pediatric providers. The grant was awarded under the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program.

The Small Business Administration Office of Technology administers the SBIR Program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program. Through these two competitive programs, SBA ensures that the nation's small, high-tech, innovative businesses are a significant part of the federal government's research and development efforts. Eleven federal departments participate in the SBIR program; five departments participate in the STTR program awarding $2 billion to small high-tech businesses.
