About the series
Please join the U.S. National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program for a virtual question and answer session, Office Hours: Preparing your NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Proposal.
An NSF SBIR/STTR program director will answer questions about the application process and what makes a competitive proposal. (Please note that the first step in the process is to submit your written Project Pitch. Startups or entrepreneurs who submit a Project Pitch will learn if they meet the program’s objectives and be invited to submit a full proposal.)
Register for the Office Hours: Preparing your NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Proposal webinar on Zoom.
The NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I solicitation has two upcoming proposal submission deadlines that close on March 5, 2025, and July 2, 2025, at 5 p.m. (submitter’s local time.) Your full proposal (based on the project proposed in the associated Project Pitch) must be submitted by the end of the submission period subsequent to the submission period in which the invitation was issued; for example, if a Project Pitch invitation is received on June 30, 2024, you may submit your full proposal by either of the two subsequent deadlines (September 18, 2024 or November 6, 2024).
Before joining the webinar, we recommend you:
- Learn more about what you'll need to submit an NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I proposal to NSF
- Come prepared with questions. You will have an opportunity to ask your questions during the webinar. (There is no need to submit them in advance.)
