SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH PROGRAM NIH GUIDE, Volume 24, Number 3, January 27, 1995 P.T. 34 Keywords: Grants Administration/Policy+ National Institutes of Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Food and Drug Administration Application Receipt Date: April 15, August 15, December 15, 1995 (same dates each calendar year) 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 which 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 (PHS), 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 1995, 2.0 percent of the extramural budget is reserved for the SBIR program, amounting to over $173 million at NIH; in fiscal years 1997 and beyond, the SBIR set aside requirement becomes 2.5 percent of the extramural budget. 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 2-year project may not cost more than $750,000 for that project. A Phase I award must have been received in order to apply for a Phase II award.
