11.021 -- NOAA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program
The Department of Commerce (DOC) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) invites small businesses to submit research proposals under this NOFO. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is not a substitute for existing unsolicited proposal mechanisms. Unsolicited proposals are not accepted under the SBIR program.
Only FY 2023 NOAA SBIR Phase I awardees under NOFO number NOAA-OAR-TPO-2023-2007691 with project start dates of September 1, 2023, and project end dates of no later than February 29, 2024, are eligible to submit a Phase II application in response to this NOFO.
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 Enhancement Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-564) and received subsequent reauthorization and extensions, the most recent of which extends the SBIR program through 2025. (P.L. 117-183).
SBIR Applicant Eligibility and Limitation (Section 1.5 of full announcement) Each applicant must qualify as an SBC for R/R&D purposes, as defined in this section of the NOFO, at the time of the award and at any other time set forth in the SBA’s regulations at 13 CFR 121.701- 121.705. In addition, the primary employment of the principal investigator (PI) must be with the SBC at the time of the award and during the conduct of the proposed project. Primary employment means that at least 51% of the PI’s time is spent in the employ of the SBC. Primary employment with a SBC precludes full-time employment with another organization. For Phase II, a minimum of one-half of the research and/or analytical effort must be performed by the awardee. The total cost for all consultant fees, facility leases, usage fees, and other subcontract/sub-award or purchase agreements may not exceed one-half of the total award.
