Innovative technologies and methodologies fuel progress in biomedical

and behavioral research and represent an increasingly important area

of the economy.  The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

program provides support for research and development (R&D) of new

technologies and methodologies that have the potential to succeed as

commercial products.



The purpose of this notice is to inform the public about the

opportunities that the SBIR program offers to small business concerns

as well as to scientists at research institutions, including colleges

and universities.



The applicant organization must be a small business concern, and the

primary employment of the principal investigator must be with the

small business at the time of award and during the conduct of the

proposed project.  In accord with the intent of the SBIR program to

increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from

federal research and development, scientists at research institutions

can play an important role in an SBIR project by serving as

consultants and/or subcontractors to the small business concern.

Normally, up to one-third of the Phase I budget may be spent on

consultant and/or contractual costs, and up to one-half of the Phase

II budget may be spent on such costs.  In this manner, a small

business concern with limited expertise and/or research facilities

may benefit from teaming with a scientist at a research institution;

for the scientist at a research institution, this team effort

provides support for R&D not otherwise obtained.



Public Law 102-564, signed by the President October 28, 1992,

requires the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Public Health

Service, Department of Health and Human Services, and certain other

federal agencies to reserve a specified amount of their extramural

research or R&D budgets for an SBIR program.  In fiscal year 1994,

1.5 percent of the extramural budget is reserved for the SBIR

program, amounting to over $125 million; in fiscal years 1995 and

1996, the allotment becomes 2.0 percent; and in fiscal years 1997 and

beyond, the requirement will be 2.5 percent.



The SBIR program consists of the following three phases:



PHASE I:  The objective of this phase is to determine the scientific

and technical merit and feasibility and potential for

commercialization of the proposed project and the quality of

performance of the small business concern, before consideration of

further federal support in Phase II.



PHASE II:  The objective of this phase is to continue the research or

R&D efforts initiated in Phase I.  Funding shall be based on the

results of Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and

commercial potential of the Phase II application.



PHASE III:  The objective of this phase, where appropriate, is for

the small business concern to pursue with non-SBIR funds the

commercialization of the results of the research or R&D funded in

Phases I and II.



The amount and period of support for SBIR awards are as follows:



PHASE I:  Awards may not exceed $100,000 for direct costs, indirect

costs, and negotiated fixed fee for a period normally not to exceed

six months.



PHASE II:  Awards may not exceed $750,000 for direct costs, indirect

costs, and negotiated fixed fee for a period normally not to exceed

two years, that is, generally, a two-year Phase II project may not

cost more than $750,000 for that project.  A Phase I award must have

been issued in order to apply for a Phase II award.
