Description

The National Science Foundation’s SBIR/STTR programs support small businesses developing enabling technologies, including next-generation scientific instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment that advance scientific discovery and strengthen the U.S. science and engineering enterprise. The opportunity funds research and development across technology areas and market sectors; it is not a procurement of specified goods or services. Each company may receive up to $2 million for R&D. The listed program funding is $40 million, with 86 expected awards. Funding opportunities include Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted by Phase II awardees upon recommendation from a program officer. The principal investigator must be primarily employed by the small business, devote the specified minimum effort to the project, and have the legal right to work for the proposing company in the United States. No PI degree is required.
