By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\nNSF Priorities\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of\nGold Standard Science\nin proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nStrategic Breakthrough\nproposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award\n.\nTo accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nIV.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\n\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\n\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\n\nNSF Priorities\n\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of Gold Standard Science in proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\n\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\n\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at https://seedfund.nsf.gov/. These programs are housed within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships.\n\nII. Program Description\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\n\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\n\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\n\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “Key Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal” page.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\n\nIII. Award Information\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II proposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track proposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\n\nPhase IIB supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nStrategic Breakthrough proposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award. To accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nIV. Eligibility Information\n\nWho May Submit Proposals:\n\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\n\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities may only be submitted by firms qualifying as a small business concern. (see the Guide to SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility for more information). Please note that the size limit of 500 employees includes affiliates. A proposing small business concern must be in compliance with the SBIR/STTR Policy Directive and the Code of Federal Regulations. For STTR proposals, the proposing small business concern must also include a partner research institution in the project.\n\nFor Phase I: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response (via email) from the program staff. Invitations are valid for the next two submission deadlines after the date of the initial official invitation. Submission deadlines are at the top of the funding opportunity. If a Project Pitch invitation expires, the Principal Investigator (PI) is required to restart the Project Pitch process. Note: that NSF places strict limits in terms of the number of Project Pitches and full proposals that can be under consideration from a given small business as described in the Project Pitch details at the link above.\n\nA maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions.\n\nFor Phase II: Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award.\n\nFor Fast-Track: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response from program staff. A full proposal must be submitted within four months of the Fast-Track Project Pitch invitation. Additional details are available here.\n\nFor Supplemental Funding Opportunities: All active SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to participate in the full range of supplemental funding opportunities related to strategic partners and outside investors, including the Phase IIB funding opportunity (see:https://seedfund.nsf.gov/resources/awardees/supplement/overview/).\n\nStrategic Breakthrough : SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to submit Strategic Breakthrough proposals only after consultation with their cognizant Program Officer.\n\nWho May Serve as PI:\n\nWho May Serve as PI: The primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business at the time of award and for the duration of the award, unless a new PI is named. Primary employment is defined as at least 51 percent employed by the small business. NSF normally considers a full-time work week to be 40 hours and considers employment elsewhere greater than 19.6 hours per week to conflict with this requirement. Rarely, deviations from this requirement may occur, and must be approved in writing by the Funding Agreement Program Officer after consultation with the agency SBIR/STTR program manager/coordinator.\n\nThe PI must have a legal right to work for the proposing company in the United States, as evidenced by citizenship, permanent residency, or an appropriate visa. The PI does not need to be associated with an academic institution. There are no PI degree requirements (i.e., the PI is not required to hold a Ph.D. or any other degree).\n\nThe PI must devote the following levels of effort:\n\nFor Phase I: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Phase II: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Fast-Track: a minimum of three calendar months per six months of performance.\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI:\n\nFor NSF SBIR: 1 PI, co-PIs are not allowed.\n\nFor NSF STTR: 1 PI and 1 co-PI are required (the PI must be an employee of the proposing small business for at least 51% of his/her time (as stated above), and the co-PI must be part of the STTR partner research institution). An individual may act as the co-PI on an unlimited number of proposals.\n\nAn individual may be listed as the PI for only one proposal submitted at a time to this NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunity\n\nV.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\n\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\n\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\n\nNSF Priorities\n\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of Gold Standard Science in proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\n\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\n\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at https://seedfund.nsf.gov/. These programs are housed within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships.\n\nII. Program Description\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\n\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\n\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\n\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “Key Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal” page.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\n\nIII. Award Information\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II proposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track proposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\n\nPhase IIB supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nStrategic Breakthrough proposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award. To accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nIV. Eligibility Information\n\nWho May Submit Proposals:\n\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\n\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities may only be submitted by firms qualifying as a small business concern. (see the Guide to SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility for more information). Please note that the size limit of 500 employees includes affiliates. A proposing small business concern must be in compliance with the SBIR/STTR Policy Directive and the Code of Federal Regulations. For STTR proposals, the proposing small business concern must also include a partner research institution in the project.\n\nFor Phase I: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response (via email) from the program staff. Invitations are valid for the next two submission deadlines after the date of the initial official invitation. Submission deadlines are at the top of the funding opportunity. If a Project Pitch invitation expires, the Principal Investigator (PI) is required to restart the Project Pitch process. Note: that NSF places strict limits in terms of the number of Project Pitches and full proposals that can be under consideration from a given small business as described in the Project Pitch details at the link above.\n\nA maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions.\n\nFor Phase II: Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award.\n\nFor Fast-Track: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response from program staff. A full proposal must be submitted within four months of the Fast-Track Project Pitch invitation. Additional details are available here.\n\nFor Supplemental Funding Opportunities: All active SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to participate in the full range of supplemental funding opportunities related to strategic partners and outside investors, including the Phase IIB funding opportunity (see:https://seedfund.nsf.gov/resources/awardees/supplement/overview/).\n\nStrategic Breakthrough : SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to submit Strategic Breakthrough proposals only after consultation with their cognizant Program Officer.\n\nWho May Serve as PI:\n\nWho May Serve as PI: The primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business at the time of award and for the duration of the award, unless a new PI is named. Primary employment is defined as at least 51 percent employed by the small business. NSF normally considers a full-time work week to be 40 hours and considers employment elsewhere greater than 19.6 hours per week to conflict with this requirement. Rarely, deviations from this requirement may occur, and must be approved in writing by the Funding Agreement Program Officer after consultation with the agency SBIR/STTR program manager/coordinator.\n\nThe PI must have a legal right to work for the proposing company in the United States, as evidenced by citizenship, permanent residency, or an appropriate visa. The PI does not need to be associated with an academic institution. There are no PI degree requirements (i.e., the PI is not required to hold a Ph.D. or any other degree).\n\nThe PI must devote the following levels of effort:\n\nFor Phase I: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Phase II: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Fast-Track: a minimum of three calendar months per six months of performance.\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI:\n\nFor NSF SBIR: 1 PI, co-PIs are not allowed.\n\nFor NSF STTR: 1 PI and 1 co-PI are required (the PI must be an employee of the proposing small business for at least 51% of his/her time (as stated above), and the co-PI must be part of the STTR partner research institution). An individual may act as the co-PI on an unlimited number of proposals.\n\nAn individual may be listed as the PI for only one proposal submitted at a time to this NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunity\n\nV.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\nNSF Priorities\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of\nGold Standard Science\nin proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nStrategic Breakthrough\nproposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award\n.\nTo accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nIV. Eligibility Information\nWho May Submit Proposals:\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities\nmay only be submitted by\nfirms qualifying as a small business concern.\n(see the\nGuide to SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility\nfor more information). Please note that the size limit of 500 employees\nincludes affiliates\n. A proposing small business concern must be in compliance with the\nSBIR/STTR Policy Directive\nand the\nCode of Federal Regulations\n. For STTR proposals, the proposing small business concern must also\ninclude a partner research institution\nin the project.\nFor Phase I:\nProposers\nmust obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal.\nTo receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a\nProject Pitch\nand receive an official response (via email) from the program staff. Invitations are valid for the next two submission deadlines after the date of the initial official invitation. Submission deadlines are at the top of the funding opportunity. If a Project Pitch invitation expires, the Principal Investigator (PI) is required to restart the Project Pitch process. Note: that NSF places strict limits in terms of the number of Project Pitches and full proposals that can be under consideration from a given small business as described in the Project Pitch details at the link above.\nA maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions.\nFor Phase II\n: Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award.\nFor Fast-Track:\nProposers\nmust obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal.\nTo receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a\nProject Pitch\nand receive an official response from program staff.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\n\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\n\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\n\nNSF Priorities\n\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of Gold Standard Science in proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\n\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\n\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at https://seedfund.nsf.gov/. These programs are housed within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships.\n\nII. Program Description\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\n\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\n\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\n\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “Key Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal” page.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\n\nIII. Award Information\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II proposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track proposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\n\nPhase IIB supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nStrategic Breakthrough proposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award. To accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nIV. Eligibility Information\n\nWho May Submit Proposals:\n\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\n\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities may only be submitted by firms qualifying as a small business concern.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\nNSF Priorities\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of\nGold Standard Science\nin proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nStrategic Breakthrough\nproposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award\n.\nTo accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\nNSF Priorities\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of\nGold Standard Science\nin proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nStrategic Breakthrough\nproposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award\n.\nTo accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nIV. Eligibility Information\nWho May Submit Proposals:\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities\nmay only be submitted by\nfirms qualifying as a small business concern.\n(see the\nGuide to SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility\nfor more information). Please note that the size limit of 500 employees\nincludes affiliates\n. A proposing small business concern must be in compliance with the\nSBIR/STTR Policy Directive\nand the\nCode of Federal Regulations\n.

Invitations are valid for the next two submission deadlines after the date of the initial official invitation. Submission deadlines are at the top of the funding opportunity. If a Project Pitch invitation expires, the Principal Investigator (PI) is required to restart the Project Pitch process. Note: that NSF places strict limits in terms of the number of Project Pitches and full proposals that can be under consideration from a given small business as described in the Project Pitch details at the link above.\nA maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions.\nFor Phase II\n: Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award.\nFor Fast-Track:\nProposers\nmust obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal.\nTo receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a\nProject Pitch\nand receive an official response from program staff. A full proposal must be submitted within four months of the Fast-Track Project Pitch invitation. Additional details are available\nhere.\nFor Supplemental Funding Opportunities:\nAll active SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to participate in the full range of supplemental funding opportunities related to strategic partners and outside investors, including the Phase IIB funding opportunity (see:\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/resources/awardees/supplement/overview\n/).\nStrategic Breakthrough :\nSBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to submit Strategic Breakthrough proposals only after consultation with their cognizant Program Officer.\nWho May Serve as PI:\nWho May Serve as PI:\nThe primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business at the time of award and for the duration of the award, unless a new PI is named.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D.

Introduction\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at https://seedfund.nsf.gov/. These programs are housed within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships.\n\nII. Program Description\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\n\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\n\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\n\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “Key Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal” page.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\n\nIII. Award Information\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II proposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track proposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\n\nPhase IIB supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nStrategic Breakthrough proposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award. To accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nIV. Eligibility Information\n\nWho May Submit Proposals:\n\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\n\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities may only be submitted by firms qualifying as a small business concern. (see the Guide to SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility for more information). Please note that the size limit of 500 employees includes affiliates. A proposing small business concern must be in compliance with the SBIR/STTR Policy Directive and the Code of Federal Regulations. For STTR proposals, the proposing small business concern must also include a partner research institution in the project.\n\nFor Phase I: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response (via email) from the program staff. Invitations are valid for the next two submission deadlines after the date of the initial official invitation. Submission deadlines are at the top of the funding opportunity. If a Project Pitch invitation expires, the Principal Investigator (PI) is required to restart the Project Pitch process. Note: that NSF places strict limits in terms of the number of Project Pitches and full proposals that can be under consideration from a given small business as described in the Project Pitch details at the link above.\n\nA maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions.\n\nFor Phase II: Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award.\n\nFor Fast-Track: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response from program staff. A full proposal must be submitted within four months of the Fast-Track Project Pitch invitation. Additional details are available here.\n\nFor Supplemental Funding Opportunities: All active SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to participate in the full range of supplemental funding opportunities related to strategic partners and outside investors, including the Phase IIB funding opportunity (see:https://seedfund.nsf.gov/resources/awardees/supplement/overview/).\n\nStrategic Breakthrough : SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to submit Strategic Breakthrough proposals only after consultation with their cognizant Program Officer.\n\nWho May Serve as PI:\n\nWho May Serve as PI: The primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business at the time of award and for the duration of the award, unless a new PI is named. Primary employment is defined as at least 51 percent employed by the small business. NSF normally considers a full-time work week to be 40 hours and considers employment elsewhere greater than 19.6 hours per week to conflict with this requirement. Rarely, deviations from this requirement may occur, and must be approved in writing by the Funding Agreement Program Officer after consultation with the agency SBIR/STTR program manager/coordinator.\n\nThe PI must have a legal right to work for the proposing company in the United States, as evidenced by citizenship, permanent residency, or an appropriate visa. The PI does not need to be associated with an academic institution. There are no PI degree requirements (i.e., the PI is not required to hold a Ph.D. or any other degree).\n\nThe PI must devote the following levels of effort:\n\nFor Phase I: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Phase II: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Fast-Track: a minimum of three calendar months per six months of performance.\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI:\n\nFor NSF SBIR: 1 PI, co-PIs are not allowed.\n\nFor NSF STTR: 1 PI and 1 co-PI are required (the PI must be an employee of the proposing small business for at least 51% of his/her time (as stated above), and the co-PI must be part of the STTR partner research institution). An individual may act as the co-PI on an unlimited number of proposals.\n\nAn individual may be listed as the PI for only one proposal submitted at a time to this NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunity\n\nV.

A maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions. For Phase II : Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award. For Fast-Track: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response from program staff. A full proposal must be submitted within four months of the Fast-Track Project Pitch invitation. Additional details are available here. For Supplemental Funding Opportunities: All active SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to participate in the full range of supplemental funding opportunities related to strategic partners and outside investors, including the Phase IIB funding opportunity (see: https://seedfund.nsf.gov/resources/awardees/supplement/overview /). Strategic Breakthrough : SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to submit Strategic Breakthrough proposals only after consultation with their cognizant Program Officer. Who May Serve as PI: Who May Serve as PI: The primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business at the time of award and for the duration of the award, unless a new PI is named. Primary employment is defined as at least 51 percent employed by the small business. NSF normally considers a full-time work week to be 40 hours and considers employment elsewhere greater than 19.6 hours per week to conflict with this requirement. Rarely , deviations from this requirement may occur, and must be approved in writing by the Funding Agreement Program Officer after consultation with the agency SBIR/STTR program manager/coordinator. The PI must have a legal right to work for the proposing company in the United States, as evidenced by citizenship, permanent residency, or an appropriate visa. The PI does not need to be associated with an academic institution. There are no PI degree requirements (i.e., the PI is not required to hold a Ph.D. or any other degree). The PI must devote the following levels of effort: For Phase I : a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance For Phase II: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance For Fast-Track : a minimum of three calendar months per six months of performance. Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1 Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: 1 Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: For NSF SBIR: 1 PI, co-PIs are not allowed. For NSF STTR: 1 PI and 1 co-PI are required (the PI must be an employee of the proposing small business for at least 51% of his/her time (as stated above), and the co-PI must be part of the STTR partner research institution). An individual may act as the co-PI on an unlimited number of proposals. An individual may be listed as the PI for only one proposal submitted at a time to this NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunity\nVI. NSF Proposal Processing and Review Procedures\nAll NSF SBIR/STTR proposals are evaluated through use of three merit review criteria: Intellectual Merit , which encompasses the potential to advance knowledge.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\nNSF Priorities\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of\nGold Standard Science\nin proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nStrategic Breakthrough\nproposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award\n.\nTo accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nIV.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\n\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\n\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\n\nNSF Priorities\n\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of Gold Standard Science in proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\n\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\n\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at https://seedfund.nsf.gov/. These programs are housed within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships.\n\nII. Program Description\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\n\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\n\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\n\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “Key Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal” page.\n\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\n\nIII. Award Information\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II proposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track proposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\n\nPhase IIB supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement proposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nStrategic Breakthrough proposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award. To accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\n\nIV. Eligibility Information\n\nWho May Submit Proposals:\n\nProposals may only be submitted by the following:\n\nProposals to any of the NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunities may only be submitted by firms qualifying as a small business concern. (see the Guide to SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility for more information). Please note that the size limit of 500 employees includes affiliates. A proposing small business concern must be in compliance with the SBIR/STTR Policy Directive and the Code of Federal Regulations. For STTR proposals, the proposing small business concern must also include a partner research institution in the project.\n\nFor Phase I: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response (via email) from the program staff. Invitations are valid for the next two submission deadlines after the date of the initial official invitation. Submission deadlines are at the top of the funding opportunity. If a Project Pitch invitation expires, the Principal Investigator (PI) is required to restart the Project Pitch process. Note: that NSF places strict limits in terms of the number of Project Pitches and full proposals that can be under consideration from a given small business as described in the Project Pitch details at the link above.\n\nA maximum of two Project Pitch submissions per company per year (12-month period) are allowed. In addition, NSF limits the total number of Project Pitches for the same project/technology, regardless of topic or timeline, to no more than 3 submissions.\n\nFor Phase II: Only NSF Phase I SBIR/STTR awardees are permitted to submit a Phase II proposal to NSF. Proposers must submit their SBIR/STTR Phase II proposal between 6 to 24 months after the start date of their relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I award.\n\nFor Fast-Track: Proposers must obtain an official invitation to submit a proposal. To receive the invitation, potential proposers must submit a Project Pitch and receive an official response from program staff. A full proposal must be submitted within four months of the Fast-Track Project Pitch invitation. Additional details are available here.\n\nFor Supplemental Funding Opportunities: All active SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to participate in the full range of supplemental funding opportunities related to strategic partners and outside investors, including the Phase IIB funding opportunity (see:https://seedfund.nsf.gov/resources/awardees/supplement/overview/).\n\nStrategic Breakthrough : SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees are eligible to submit Strategic Breakthrough proposals only after consultation with their cognizant Program Officer.\n\nWho May Serve as PI:\n\nWho May Serve as PI: The primary employment of the Principal Investigator (PI) must be with the small business at the time of award and for the duration of the award, unless a new PI is named. Primary employment is defined as at least 51 percent employed by the small business. NSF normally considers a full-time work week to be 40 hours and considers employment elsewhere greater than 19.6 hours per week to conflict with this requirement. Rarely, deviations from this requirement may occur, and must be approved in writing by the Funding Agreement Program Officer after consultation with the agency SBIR/STTR program manager/coordinator.\n\nThe PI must have a legal right to work for the proposing company in the United States, as evidenced by citizenship, permanent residency, or an appropriate visa. The PI does not need to be associated with an academic institution. There are no PI degree requirements (i.e., the PI is not required to hold a Ph.D. or any other degree).\n\nThe PI must devote the following levels of effort:\n\nFor Phase I: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Phase II: a minimum of one calendar month per six months of performance\n\nFor Fast-Track: a minimum of three calendar months per six months of performance.\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI: 1\n\nLimit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI:\n\nFor NSF SBIR: 1 PI, co-PIs are not allowed.\n\nFor NSF STTR: 1 PI and 1 co-PI are required (the PI must be an employee of the proposing small business for at least 51% of his/her time (as stated above), and the co-PI must be part of the STTR partner research institution). An individual may act as the co-PI on an unlimited number of proposals.\n\nAn individual may be listed as the PI for only one proposal submitted at a time to this NSF SBIR/STTR funding opportunity\n\nV.

By investing federal R&D funds in start-ups and small businesses, NSF strengthens the national economy by stimulating private sector innovation, commercializing federally-funded research outputs, and supporting the American scientific enterprise. This investment enhances job creation while developing and expanding the U.S. workforce.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs fund across nearly all technology areas and market sectors; the programs do not solicit specific technologies or procure goods and services from startups and small businesses. Each company can receive up to $2 million for R&D. NSF takes no equity and awardees keep full ownership of their company and intellectual property.\nFunding opportunities are available through the NSF SBIR/STTR programs: Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Supplements. Separately, NSF welcomes Strategic Breakthrough proposals, upon recommendation from the cognizant Program Officer, for Phase II awardees.\nIn addition to these SBIR/STTR programs, NSF is also separately piloting a new emphasis area (see here) focused on enabling technologies that include next-generation instrumentation, novel experimental platforms, and other scientific equipment to advance the frontiers of scientific discovery and strengthen the American scientific and engineering enterprise.\nNSF Priorities\nNSF welcomes submissions from all researchers, particularly those earlier in their careers and those working in research areas aligned with agency and administration priorities. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity, and adherence to tenets of\nGold Standard Science\nin proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.\nCognizant Program Officer(s):\nPlease note that the following information is current at the time of publishing.

Introduction\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs directly advance NSF priorities by transforming scientific discoveries into tangible economic benefits. These programs serve as a critical engine for NSF’s mission to advance scientific progress for national security, enterprise and health. By investing in high-risk, high-reward start-ups and small businesses, the program ensures that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global innovation.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR and Fast-Track programs fund R&D costs to invest in startups and small businesses developing technologies at their earliest stages of viability. Additional information can be found at\nhttps://seedfund.nsf.gov/\n. These programs are housed within the\nDirectorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships\n.\nII. Program Description\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs invest in start-ups and small businesses to turn high-risk, high-impact research into market-ready innovations. These programs aim to advance innovation by investing in the development of critical and emerging technologies that yield market-ready or commercializable outputs, all the while harnessing the full geography of American innovation and building a competition-ready workforce.\nNSF seeks SBIR/STTR proposals that represent success in three criteria:\nIntellectual Merit, Broader Impacts,\nand\nCommercial Potential\n. NSF funding is dedicated to the accomplishment of technical R&D activities; successful proposals will also convey the potential of NSF support to advance the viability of the start-up or small business by addressing other key risk areas, such as by strengthening the team, proving out the business model, engaging customers and other stakeholders, positioning the company for follow-on funding, and/or solidifying the intellectual property position of the innovation.\nThe SBIR/STTR program provides funding via four mechanisms: 1) Phase I awards, 2) Phase II awards 3) Fast-Track awards; and 4) Supplemental Awards as discussed below under Award Information.\nSBIR proposals permit, but do not require, that the applicant small business partner with any other institution. However, STTR proposals require that the startup issue a subaward to a not-for-profit research institution (RI). SBIR and STTR proposal budgets have unique requirements in terms of how the budget funds are allocated; see the “Proposal Preparation Instructions” pages for more details. For complete information about the unique requirements for STTR awards, please refer to the “\nKey Information for Submitting a Full SBIR/STTR Proposal\n” page.\nThe NSF SBIR/STTR programs are expected to result in the creation of innovative products and services that address unmet needs, stimulate economic growth through job creation and business expansion, and deliver measurable benefits and scalable ventures.\nIII. Award Information\nNSF SBIR/STTR\nPhase I\nproposals may be submitted for up to $305,000 in R&D funding intended to support projects for 6-18 months. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee, Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding, and the optional, but highly encouraged Innovation Corps (I-Corps). These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Phase II\nproposals may be submitted for funding up to $1,250,000. This amount is inclusive of all direct and indirect costs as well as the small business fee and optional TABA funding. NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II projects typically run for 24 months. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nNSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track\nproposals may be submitted for up to $1,555,555 in R&D funding, to include $400,000 for the Phase I component, with a duration of 6 to 12 months, and up to $1,155,000 for the Phase II component over an additional 18 to 24 months.\nPhase IIB supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for between $50,000 to $500,000. The Phase IIB Supplement enables an awardee to build on Phase II development achievements and expedite the path from lab to market with matching funds from NSF’s Phase IIB supplement to funds from investors or customers. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nTechnology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplement\nproposals may be submitted by active Phase II awardees for an amount not to exceeded 20% of the Phase II award. This funding supports additional research that goes beyond the Phase II project’s objectives to meet the technical specifications or additional proof-of-concept requirements. Additional research is anticipated to enhance commercial potential and lead to partnerships with customers, industrial partners, and investors. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nStrategic Breakthrough\nproposals, upon invitation by the cognizant Program Officer, may be submitted for an award\n.\nTo accelerate the success of SBIR/STTR funded companies, the reauthorization of the NSF SBIR/STTR program allows a strategic breakthrough award for Phase II awardees which is designed to help bring exceptional and broadly impactful technologies to commercial readiness. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may be submitted via Research.gov for requested amounts up to $30,000,000. Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be evaluated using the merit review principles and criteria as well as the additional solicitation specific review criteria included in VI sections A and B below. Additional considerations for assessing the suitability of Strategic Breakthrough proposals will be available on the NSF SBIR/STTR website. These awards are subject to availability of funds.\nIV.
