Grant Opportunity Announced for Small Business Innovation Research Program
A new grant opportunity from the
National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) at ACL has been announced under the Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR), Phase I. An estimated 10 grants will be
awarded to small businesses.
The purpose of the SBIR program is to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector, strengthen the role of small business in meeting federal research or research and development needs,
and improve the return on investment from federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the nation. The goal is to improve the lives of people with disabilities through research and development of products generated by small businesses, and
to increase the commercial application of NIDILRR-supported research results and development products.
Technology, science, and engineering firms with strong research capabilities in any of the priority areas listed in this notice are encouraged to apply. For Phase I projects, at least two-thirds
of the research or analytic activities must be performed by the small business grantee.
