The SBIR program at NIST solicits scientific and engineering related R&D proposals for contracts from small businesses that respond to specific technical needs that are described in the annual Solicitation. Only proposals responding to those specific technical needs expressed in the NIST Solicitation will be reviewed and evaluated for possible funding. SBIR Programs do not fund projects that have already established a proof-of-concept. The first phase of any SBIR award is a feasibility study, and that phase may not be skipped. The NIST SBIR Program awards contracts as the funding agreement type for its awards. As such, research conducted by small businesses awarded NIST SBIR funds perform R&D in accordance with FAR rules and under the supervision of a NIST technical representative that monitors the progress of the R&D. The NIST SBIR Program does not award grants. Information regarding NIST SBIR subtopics will be made available only via the Solicitation. See the Schedule for information on the next open period. At no time will technical point of contact information be released for any given subtopic. An open Q&A space will be available for any technical or administrative questions respondents may have during the open period. The solicitation is made available via the internet exclusively. NIST
does not accept electronic submissions of proposals. Proposal preparation
and submission instructions are provided within the Solicitation. The
NIST SBIR Office does not maintain a mailing list. |
