NIH's National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) has released a free, online course series on Entrepreneurial Finance for Biomedical Innovators. The courses present biomedical entrepreneurs with a detailed framework for building a step-wise, validated financial plan.

The primary learning objectives for this course are as follows:
- Understand the importance of financial planning for your small business

- Learn practical approaches to developing a long-term financial plan
- Evaluate the various sources of funding
- Examine the use of comparables in validating your financial plan
