The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is inviting applicants for its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program was originally established in 1982 by the Small Business Innovation Development Act (P.L. 97-219), codified at 15 U.S.C. § 638. It was then expanded and extended by the Small Business Research and Development (R&D) Enhancement Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-564) and received subsequent reauthorization and extensions, the most recent of which extends the SBIR program through 2022. (P.L. 114-328).
Goals
- stimulate technological innovation;
- use small business to meet Federal R/R&D needs;
- foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses and by women-owned small businesses in technological innovation;
- increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R/R&D, thereby increasing competition, productivity, and economic growth.
