Who is Eligible
Applicants must qualify as a Small Business Concern for Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) purposes, at the time of award. In addition, the primary employment of the principal investigator must be with the small business at the time of the award and during the conduct of the proposed research. Primary employment means that more than one-half of the principal investigator’s time is spent working with the small business. Primary employment with a small business precludes full-time employment with another organization.
Details
Phase I – Feasibility Research
The purpose of Phase I is for NIST to determine the technical feasibility of the research, including prestandardization research and development, preliminary commercialization merit of the proposed effort, and the quality of the awardee’s performance. The application should concentrate on describing research that will significantly contribute to proving the feasibility of the proposed Phase II research and commercialization potential, prerequisites to receiving further support in Phase II.
