Small Business Programs (SBIR/STTR) (DARPA)

Small Business Programs (SBIR/STTR) (DARPA) is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA's SBIR/STTR programs fund small businesses developing radical, game-changing technologies with the potential to benefit national security, the federal government, and commercial markets. This includes advanced materials and protection technologies, and topics like Expeditionary Power- and Energy-Dense Implementations (ExPEDitions) which seeks to develop rechargeable batteries with significantly higher energy and power density.

Army xTech|Search 10 Open-Topic Prize Competition with Follow-On SBIR Topic ARM26BX05-NP011 for AI, Autonomy and Dual-Use Technologies

xTech|Search 10 is the tenth round of the U.S. Army's flagship open-topic prize competition, the Expeditionary Technology Search, and it is currently open with a submission window running 10 September to 19 October 2026. The Army uses xTechSearch to surface commercially traded, dual-use technologies that could deliver game-changing capability, with modernization priorities that explicitly include AI and machine learning, autonomy, and general warfighting requirements. The mechanism is worth understanding precisely because it differs from a conventional SBIR: companies enter by submitting a short white paper, the Army competitively down-selects up to sixteen finalists, and only those finalists become eligible to submit a Phase I Army SBIR proposal under topic ARM26BX05-NP011 for a follow-on award of up to 300,000 dollars over six months. Participation in the prize competition is therefore a mandatory prerequisite for the contract, and a company that discovers the SBIR topic without the competition will find it cannot bid. The competition is a total small business set-aside. xTechSearch is deliberately aimed at firms that do not normally compete for defence awards, and the white paper format is substantially lighter than a full SBIR proposal, which makes this one of the lowest-friction entry points into Army funding for an AI or autonomy startup with a working commercial product.

The follow-on Army SBIR Phase I award is up to 300,000 US dollars over a six-month period of performance, and amount_min and amount_max are both set to 300,000 because that is the single published award value. Cash prizes are also paid at the competition stages, but the Army has not published a per-stage prize figure for xTech|Search 10 on the competition page, so the 300,000 dollar Phase I contract is the only reliably sourced number and the one applicants should plan budgets around. The important structural point is that the prize money and the SBIR contract are sequential, not alternative: you cannot submit a Phase I proposal under ARM26BX05-NP011 without first being named an xTech|Search 10 finalist, so the white paper is the real gate and the 300,000 dollars is only reachable through it.Deadline: Oct 19, 2026

The Indirect Cost Cap Is Dead — For Now: How Congress Restored Negotiated Rates at DOE, NSF, Commerce and NASA, and Why the Next Fight Is Already Here

In January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
