NSF Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants are a great funding opportunity for small businesses who are looking to bring a new technology to market across a vast number of technical areas. Since 2012, America’s Seed Fund powered by NSF has made nearly 3,400 awards to startups and small businesses. Since 2015, NSF-funded small businesses have had 153 exits and have received $9.1 billion in private investment.

Phase 1 offers up to $256K and Phase 2 offers up to $1M in non-dilutive funding for new technologies that:

  • Have potential to significantly benefit society

  • Can demonstrate strong commercialization potential
