About this opportunity
The USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture is seeking small business applicants for its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs Phase I. The programs aim to transform scientific discoveries into innovative, commercially viable products and services across various agriculture and environmental sectors. Key focus areas include forests, plant/animal production, food science, biofuels, and small/mid-size farms. Eligibility criteria include small business ownership, size, and employment requirements. The application deadline is September 17, 2024. Up to $13 million is available for SBIR Phase I awards and $2.5 million for STTR Phase I awards, with maximum individual award amounts of $175,000 for SBIR and $181,500 for STTR. SBIR Phase I projects are limited to 8 months, while STTR Phase I projects are limited to 12 months. All funded projects must be conducted within the United States.
Synopsis
The USDA SBIR/STTR programs focus on transforming scientific discovery into products and services with commercial potential and/or societal benefit. Unlike fundamental research, the USDA SBIR/STTR programs support small businesses in the creation of innovative, disruptive technologies and enable the application of research advancements from conception into the market. The STTR program aims to foster technology transfer through formal cooperative R & D between small businesses and nonprofit research institutions.
