Research types attribute

• Type: string[] | null
• Value set: Enum
• Data types: Federal contract opportunity
• Fields: research_types

Notes

• Only SBIR/STTR topics have this field. It is null when a topic reports no phase, and other opportunities leave it out.
• The value is the phase a topic takes proposals for, not every phase it could lead to. A Phase I topic has only the Phase I value, a Direct to Phase II topic has only the Phase II value, and a topic that takes both has both.
• Use the research_phase filter on Search_Federal_Contract_Opportunities or the Research Type filter on the website. The values name the program, so this filter also separates SBIR topics from STTR topics. Other opportunities have no research type, so they don't match it, and they do pass when the operator is not_in.

Values

• SBIR Program Phase I Action: Takes SBIR Phase I proposals.
• SBIR Program Phase II Action: Takes SBIR Phase II proposals, including Direct to Phase II.
• STTR Phase I: Takes STTR Phase I proposals.
• STTR Phase II: Takes STTR Phase II proposals.
