Synopsis

The NSF SBIR/STTR programs support moving scientific excellence and technological innovation from the lab to the market. By funding startups and small businesses, NSF helps build a strong national economy and stimulates the creation of novel products, services, and solutions in private, public, or government sectors with potential for broad impact; strengthens the role of small business in meeting federal research and development needs; increases the commercial application of federally supported research results; and develops and expands the US workforce, especially by fostering and encouraging participation by socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses.

The NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II programs provide non-dilutive funding for the development of a broad range of technologies based on discoveries in science and engineering with potential for societal and economic impacts. Unlike fundamental or basic research activities that focus on scientific and engineering discovery itself, the NSF SBIR/STTR programs support

Important Information And Revision Notes

Revisions from NSF 23-541 include: 

Submission of a Letter of Intent (LOI) is not required for this ASCENT competition. The program now accepts both types of collaborative proposals described in Chapter II.E.3 of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide. The topic at the heart of the proposal must lie within the scopes of at least two of the three ECCS clusters (CCSS, EPMD, EPCN). Research proposals spanning three clusters are highly encouraged. In FY25 ASCENT will focus on wafer-scale or panel-scale heterogeneous integration of innovative semiconductor systems through advanced packaging. Novel ideas to advance wafer-scale or panel-scale heterogeneous integration technologies are also encouraged. Intel is a funding partner.

Dear Colleagues:

America’s leadership in the bioeconomy is vital to U.S. global competitiveness, security, and economic growth. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has long supported discoveries in biotechnology, leading to development of novel biopolymers, green fluorescent proteins, gene editing techniques, and other innovations that have advanced fields from biomanufacturing to health care to food production. In response to the Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy1, as well as the CHIPs and Science Act2, NSF seeks to create opportunities for basic researchers to participate alongside more translationally focused research and development institutes to support the growth of biomanufacturing within the U.S.

With this Dear Colleague Letter, NSF announces its partnership with BioMADE, one of the Manufacturing Innovation Institutes
