About this program
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) administers the Hazardous Substances Research and Training Program – SBIR (CFDA 93.SRS), which funds small-business-led basic research into detecting, reducing, and managing the public health effects of hazardous substance exposure under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.
The program supports research, technology transfer yielding commercially viable products, and communication strategies that translate environmental health research for practical application. Eligible research areas include methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment, and basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances. All research must fall within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and SARA of 1986. The program operates exclusively through the SBIR mechanism; STTR funding is not available.
Applicants must meet Small Business Administration eligibility requirements as detailed in the NOFO. Selected applications undergo scientific and technical evaluation through an initial review group and the National Advisory Environmental Health Sciences Council, followed by programmatic and policy review prior to award. Funding decisions align with NIH Unified Funding Strategies and NIEHS strategic priorities. Award amounts are determined at the time of award and are typically made on an annual basis. Recipients must retain financial records for three years from submission of the final financial status report.
The source does not provide recent grant award data, award volume trends, representative recent awards, open solicitations, or near-term application deadlines. Prospective applicants should consult the current NOFO for renewal eligibility, detailed eligibility constraints, and the next application due date.
