SBIR/STTR Support | Florida High Tech Corridor The Corridor helps Florida’s small businesses tap into Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) awards, the nation’s largest source of early-stage startup funding for research and development. Each year, 11 participating federal agencies distribute SBIR/STTR awards totaling $4 billion to finance cutting-edge, high-risk technologies.
SBIR/STTR awards are helpful for: Developing a proof of concept or prototype Hiring technical staff or subject-matter experts Purchasing essential materials and equipment Validating potential as a government vendor Funding university research partnerships Unlike traditional venture capital, SBIR/STTR funds are non-dilutive, so participants retain full company ownership, including the rights to intellectual property.
Additionally, companies that are successful in securing SBIR/STTR awards and are engaged in research partnerships with UCF or USF may be eligible for matching funds from The Corridor’s Matching Grants Research Program .

UKRI has opened a 5,000,000 pound cross-council call to accelerate the adoption of AI methods inside five priority science and engineering domains: engineering biology, advanced materials, quantum technologies, medical research, and fusion energy. The instrument is deliberately small and fast. Awards are capped at 250,000 pounds full economic cost over up to 12 months with a fixed start date of 26 April 2027, and the central requirement is that a proposal bring together genuine AI expertise with genuine domain expertise rather than either community working alone. Applicants must demonstrate how AI could be applied to address important research challenges in their domain and, critically, explain why an AI collaboration is necessary for that specific challenge, which is a direct filter against proposals that apply a standard model to a dataset and call it adoption. The call opened on 29 September 2026 and closes 1 December 2026 at 4:00pm UK time, with an information webinar held on 14 October 2026. Because the funding is short-duration seed money aimed at building new partnerships, it suits teams that have identified a domain bottleneck and a credible AI collaborator but have no existing joint track record to point to.
The NIH STTR Omnibus Solicitation is the primary Small Business Technology Transfer funding opportunity issued by the National Institutes of Health. It supports cooperative research and development partnerships between U.S. small businesses and nonprofit research institutions such as universities. The program offers Phase I (R41), Phase II (R42), and Fast-Track grants for clinical-trial-not-allowed projects across nearly every NIH institute, including NCI, NIAID, NIMH, NHLBI, and many others. STTR requires a formal collaboration agreement between the small business and a research institution, distinguishing it from the SBIR program. Eligible applicants must be U.S.-based for-profit small business concerns.

On September 3, 2026 — six days before the FY2027 Pioneer deadline — NIH posted forecast records for the entire FY2028 High-Risk, High-Reward program. The slate is nearly flat against FY2027, Transformative loses a slot, and the dollar figures quietly assume full negotiated indirect rates.
Read articleThe U.S. Government Policy for Stopping High-Risk Life Sciences Research, released July 28, 2026 under EO 14292 and implemented at NIH through NOT-OD-26-101, replaces mitigation with prohibition. It bans dangerous gain-of-function research outright, gates potential DGOF behind government-wide review, and creates International Research of Concern — a research-security regime wearing biosafety clothing. Penalties run to five-year debarment and False Claims Act exposure.
Read articleThe FY2027 Common Fund slate is roughly $44 million across about 54 awards — Pioneer at $8M for 7, Transformative at $8M for 7, Early Independence at $5.7M for 10, and New Innovator's 30 already closed on August 17. Early Independence skipped FY2026 entirely, and its degree-eligibility window now spans 29 months to absorb the gap.
