SBIR/STTR Strategic Breakthrough Awards for Scaling AI and Deep Tech

The Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act S. 3971 passed by Congress in March 2026 with overwhelming bipartisan support creates Strategic Breakthrough Awards as a new funding mechanism within the SBIR/STTR programs. These awards enable agencies to make milestone-based awards up to $30 million per small business for scaling federally-funded technology from laboratory to production. The reauthorization represents the most significant structural overhaul of SBIR/STTR since original authorization. Additional changes include enhanced Phase I technical assistance up to $6,500 per project Phase II assistance up to $50,000 per project mandatory security screening across eight federal watchlists and starting FY2027 limits on the number of proposals per company annually. Eight federal agencies participate: DOD DOE NIH NSF NASA USDA EPA and DHS. DOD and NIH are expected to publish the first new solicitations under the reauthorized programs in April or May 2026 with NSF DOE and NASA to follow mid-year. This is distinct from standard SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II awards and from agency-specific programs like NSF America's Seed Fund as Strategic Breakthrough Awards specifically target companies with prior Phase II awards ready to scale.

Up to $30,000,000 per small business through milestone-based awards for scaling federally-funded technology from laboratory to production. Total funding capped at 0.50% of each participating agency's extramural R&D budget annually potentially reaching hundreds of millions across all eight agencies. Requires 100% matching funds from private capital or non-SBIR government sources.Deadline: Check Source

DOE's ASPECT Solicitation Is Out — and the Award Range Starts at Zero

The full ASPECT NOFO (DE-FOA-0003647) posted September 4, 2026, eleven days later than the Notice of Intent predicted. The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.
