Innovative technologies and methodologies fuel progress in biomedical

and behavioral research and represent an increasingly important area

of the economy.  The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

program provides support to small business concerns -- in

collaboration with U.S. research institutions -- for research or

research or 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 STTR program offers to small business concerns

as well as to scientists at research institutions, INCLUDING COLLEGES

AND UNIVERSITIES.  The applicant organization must be the small

business concern.  At least 40 percent of the project is to be

performed by the small business concern and at least 30 percent of

the project is to be performed by the research institution.



The STTR program consists of the following three phases:



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

technical, and commercial merit and feasibility of the proposed

cooperative effort and the quality of performance of the small

business concern, prior to providing 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 to

pursue with non-STTR 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 STTR awards are as follows:



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

costs, and fixed fee for a period normally not to exceed one year.



Phase II:  Awards may not exceed $500,000 for direct costs, indirect

costs, and 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 $500,000 for that project.  A Phase I award must have issued in

order to be eligible to apply for a Phase II award.



Both Phase I and Phase II applications will be accepted on the

application receipt dates identified above.  It is estimated that

fiscal year 1996 funds of about $12 million will be set aside by the

National Institutes of Health (NIH) to make grant awards under the

STTR program.
