This grant is for advancing previously funded innovations towards commercialization. The NIST Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II invites applications exclusively from recipients of the FY 2024 NIST SBIR Phase I awards. The primary purpose of this funding is to support the continued development of projects that demonstrate strong potential for market viability. Awardees are expected to evolve their research into a fully viable product, service, or standard. The ultimate aim is to facilitate the successful introduction of these developed solutions into the commercial marketplace, thereby transitioning innovative concepts from the laboratory to practical, real-world applications. This opportunity specifically targets prior Phase I successes ready for the next stage of commercial development.
