Description

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).

For Phase II, a minimum of one-half of the research and/or analytical effort must be performed by the awardee.
