Update #5 · Latest ·
The U.S. Department of Education (Department) anticipates the release of the 2022 Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Phase I solicitation on or about December 1, 2021.
The purpose of the SBIR program is to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector, strengthen the role of small business in meeting Department research and development needs, increase the commercial potential of Department-supported research results, and improve the return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the Nation.
Phase I is to determine, insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit of ideas submitted under the SBIR program. The proposal should concentrate on Research/Research & Development (R/R&D) that will establish the feasibility of the technological approach, a prerequisite for further Department support in Phase II. Awards are for periods up to 8-months in amounts up to $250,000.
Firms with strong R/R&D capabilities in education technology products in the priority areas listed are encouraged to participate. The 2022 priority areas consist of either:
• PRIORITY AREA 1: New Education Technology Products for Use by Students, Educators, or Administrators
• PRIORITY AREA 2: New Education Technology Products Used by Infants, Toddlers, or Students With or At Risk for Disabilities, or Teachers (or other Instructional Personnel, Related Services Providers, or Family Members) in Early Intervention or Special Education Settings
Products must fall in one of these priority areas.
This notice is a request for proposals at this time. Interested parties should continue to monitor this posting for updates.
