This USDA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I grant offers an opportunity for US-owned, for-profit small businesses to undertake innovative, applied research and development projects. The purpose of this grant is to address critical problems facing American agriculture and demonstrate the scientific or technical feasibility of proposed solutions, with the potential to yield significant public benefit. Projects are sought across diverse agricultural topics including forests, plant and animal production, food science, rural development, biobased products, and small farms. Phase I projects typically span eight months, serving as the foundational step before further research or commercialization efforts. This funding specifically targets Phase I applications.
