Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to revise the NCCIH policy for budget and duration for SBIR and STTR Phase I and Phase II applications submitted in response to the following Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) and subsequent reissued versions of these FOAs: PA-20-260, PA-20-261, PA-20-262, PA-20-265.

For budgetary, administrative, or programmatic reasons, NCCIH may decide not to fund an application or may decrease the length of an award and/or the budget recommended by a review committee.

Through this Notice, NCCIH has revised its budget and duration policies for SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II applications. Generally, NCCIH will not fund:

• • Phase I applications greater than $256,580 total costs for the duration of the project or project periods greater than 2 years.
  • Phase II applications greater than $1,710,531 total costs for the duration of the project or project periods greater than 3 years.

These total award amounts will be adjusted according to the NIH guidelines.

For "National Institutes of Health SBA-Approved SBIR/STTR Topics for Awards over Statutory Budget Limitations," the Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved an NIH SBIR/STTR Topic Waiver list for which NCCIH generally will not fund:

• • Phase I applications greater than $325,000 total costs per year or project periods greater than 2 years.
  • Phase II applications greater than $2,000,000 total costs for the duration of the project or project periods greater than 3 years.
