# Aviation (NSF SBIR MO1; official topic listings differ)

The SBA topic record for NSF solicitation 26-510 labels subtopic MO1 “Aviation.” NSF’s current Mobility page labels MO1 “Traffic Congestion and Routing,” but does not identify solicitation 26-510. The official pages therefore differ, and the current Mobility page does not establish that it replaces the 26-510 topic entry. NSF 26-510 sets the next proposal deadline as 4 November 2026 by 5 p.m. in the submitting organization’s local time.

The SBIR directory itself warns that its copies may not be the latest agency version. No topic-specific award amount or result is stated."
