The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking applications for its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I programs. The goal of these programs is to support the translation of scientific discoveries and engineering breakthroughs into commercial products, services, and solutions that have the potential for broad impact. The programs are open to small businesses across a wide range of technical and market areas, with no specific technological focus. Proposals should focus on the creation of opportunities to move discoveries from the lab into the market or into broader use, rather than on fundamental research. The application deadline is May 15, 2024.
The NSF SBIR/STTR programs provide non-dilutive research and development funding at the earliest stages of technology development. Awards are intended to catalyze the innovative capabilities of small firms within the United States. There is no set budget or award value, as funding levels are determined based on the scope and nature of each proposed project. The programs are open to small businesses located anywhere within the United States.
