This grant is for US-owned, for-profit small businesses to undertake innovative, applied research and development projects addressing critical problems in American agriculture. The Agriculture Department’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, Phase I, aims to prove the scientific or technical feasibility of proposed solutions. Projects should have the potential to deliver significant public benefit across diverse agricultural topics including plant and animal production, food science, rural development, aquaculture, and biobased products. Phase I projects typically last 8 months and are a stepping stone towards further development and eventual commercialization.

Research proposals are accepted in any of the following topic areas: 1) Forests and Related Resources; 2) Plant Production and Protection – Biology; 3) Animal Production and Protection; 4) Air, Water, and Soils; 5) Food Science and Nutrition; 6) Rural Development; 7) Aquaculture; 8) Biofuels and Biobased Products; 9) Marketing and Trade; 10) Animal Manure Management; 11) Small and Mid-Size Farms; and 12) Plant Production and Protection – Engineering. The SBIR program exists in three phases. The purpose of Phase I is to prove the scientific or technical feasibility of the proposed research and development effort. Phase I projects typically are for 8 months. Phase II is the principal research and development effort and often involves moving the project from the laboratory to the field or the development of prototypes. Phase II projects typically are for 24 months. Phase III is the commercialization phase and there is no SBIR support provided for this phase. Phase I applications are due on September 2, 2010.
