The Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (DOC-NOAA) released details of its FY 2010 Program Solicitation. Budgets may not exceed $95,000 or six months for Phase I research. NOAA anticipates making 10 Phase I awards. Physical deliver of the proposals must be made before 4:00 PM on January 14th. Topics fall within the following broad categories–see the full solicitation for details:
- Ecosystems
- Climate
- Weather and Water
- Commerce and Transportation
NIST-DOC (National Institute of Science & Technology-Department of Commerce) has pre-released their 2009 solicitation with 42 SBIR Topics. The full solicitation will be released on November 12th and will close on January 22nd. Phase 1 Awards will be awarded up to $90,000.
The purpose of Phase 1 is to conduct feasibility related experimental or theoretical research or research and development (R&D) in order to determine the scientific or technical merit/feasibility of concepts/ideas as prerequisite for further NIST support under Phase 2 of the SBIR Program. Firms or individuals receiving awards under Phase 1 will be eligible to compete for Phase 2 contracts.
The Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (DOC/NOAA) has issued a Presolicitation notice for their FY-2009 SBIR.
The NOAA solicitation will solicit proposals in four main topics:
· Ecosystems
· Climate
· Weather and Water
· Commerce and Transportation
The solicitation will be available on October 15, 2008 on NOAA’s website.
It’s not an SBIR program, but SBIR companies might be interested…
ASTRA is delighted to report that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking proposals for high-risk research projects to develop innovative technologies for inspecting, monitoring and evaluating critical components of the nation’s roadways, bridges, and drinking and wastewater systems. The competition for cost-shared research and development (R&D) support released today is the first to be announced by NIST’s newly established Technology Innovation Program (TIP).
NIST announced yesterday that, based on FY 2008 funds, it expects to award approximately $9 million in first-year funding for R&D projects. The focus of the awards will be "new, efficient, accurate, low-cost and reliable sensors and related technologies that provide quantitative assessments of the structural integrity or degree of deterioration of bridges, roads, water mains and wastewater collection systems."
