Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA SBIR 011120

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs Phase II, backed by the Small Business Administration and administered by the USDA, aim to support small businesses engaged in advanced research and development. This phase builds on previous SBIR/STTR Phase I work by continuing R&D efforts while placing greater emphasis on commercializing new technologies.

The STTR program specifically promotes collaboration between small businesses and nonprofit research institutions to facilitate the transfer of technology from the lab to the marketplace. These programs align with the USDA's mission to convert scientific innovation into social and economic value, boosting both agriculture and rural economies.

To apply for Phase II funding for FY 2025, applicants must have received a Phase I SBIR/STTR award, including those with a revised funding agreement due to organizational changes. They must also meet the criteria of a small business concern (SBC) under SBA guidelines, which include requirements related to ownership, company size, and independence. Ineligibility at the time of application will result in rejection or disqualification from receiving an award.

The USDA encourages new applicants to review its Grants Overview for a clearer understanding of the federal grant process.
