This grant, established through the National Defense Appropriation Act (NDAA) for FY2011, is offered by the Department of Defense to facilitate the rapid insertion of innovative technologies into military systems and programs. The core purpose of this Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) is to meet critical national security needs by accelerating the deployment of advanced solutions. It is primarily dedicated to supporting the transition of technologies developed by small businesses. This includes innovations resulting from the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and those originating from DoD-reimbursed Independent Research and Development (IR&D) efforts. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between research and practical application, ensuring cutting-edge advancements are quickly integrated into defense capabilities.
