The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I grant to stimulate technological innovation within the private sector. This grant aims to strengthen the role of small businesses in federal research and development, boost the commercial application of federally supported research, and foster participation from socially/economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses. Consistent with NSF’s mission, the program seeks to transform scientific discovery into significant social and economic benefit through private sector commercialization. Proposals are solicited across broad high-technology investment sectors, including Biological & Chemical, Education, Electronics/Information/Communication, and Nanotechnology/Advanced Materials/Manufacturing. This opportunity supports innovative projects aligned with national R&D needs.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | *Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: – Only firms qualifying as a small business concern are eligible to participate in the SBIR program (see <a href="http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=&SID=79b80c770d80d139e4ad800fb1eff912&n=13y1.0.1.1.17&r=PART&ty=HTML#13:1.0.1.1.17.1.273" title="Size Determination">Size Determination</a>for more information). Socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned small business concerns are particularly encouraged to participate. For an SBIR Phase I Proposal, a minimum of two-thirds of the research, as measured by the budget, must be performed by the small business concern and the balance may be outsourced to a consultant or subcontractor or a combination of the two. Proposals from joint ventures and partnerships are permitted, provided the entity created qualifies as a small business concern(see <a href="http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=&SID=79b80c770d80d139e4ad800fb1eff912&n=13y1.0.1.1.17&r=PART&ty=HTML#13:1.0.1.1.17.1.273" title="Size Determination">Size Determination</a>for more information).Proposing firms are also encouraged to take advantage of research expertise and facilities that may be available to them at colleges, universities, national laboratories, and from other research providers. Such collaborations may include research subcontracts, consulting agreements or the employment of faculty as senior personnel and of graduate or undergraduate students as assistants by the small business. <br /> *PI Limit: The primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business concern at the time of the award. A PI must spend a minimum of one calendar month on an SBIR Phase I project. Primary employment is defined as 51% employed by the small business. NSF considers afull timework week to be normally 40 hours and considers employment elsewhere of greater than 19.6 hours to be in conflict with this requirement. |

| Description: | The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program stimulates technological innovation in the private sector by strengthening the role of small business concerns in meeting Federal research and development needs, increasing the commercial application of federally supported research results, and fostering and encouraging participation by socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses.The SBIR program solicits proposals from the small business sector consistent with NSF’s mission. The program is governed by Public Law 112-81 (SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011). A main purpose of the legislation is to stimulate technological innovation and increase private sector commercialization. The NSF SBIR program is therefore in a unique position to meet both the goals of NSF and the purpose of the SBIR legislation by transforming scientific discovery into both social and economic benefit, and by emphasizing private sector commercialization. Accordingly, NSF has formulated broad solicitation topics for SBIR that conform to the high-technology investment sector’s interests.The topics are:Biological and Chemical Technologies (BC)Education Applications (EA)Electronics, Information and Communication Technologies (EI)Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, and Manufacturing (NM)Note: The submission of the same project idea to both this SBIR Phase I solicitation and the concurrent STTR Phase I solicitation is strongly discouraged. |
