gov . Showcasing IOTAS ’s’ Home app, featuring a unique floor plan view and Smart Stories™. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving field that involves the interconnection and interaction of smart objects (objects or devices with embedded sensors, onboard data processing capability, and a means of communication) to provide automated services that would otherwise not be possible.
IoT is not a single technology, but rather involves the convergence of sensor, actuator, information and communication technologies. Emerging IoT implementations will use smaller and more energy-efficient embedded sensor technologies, more sophisticated actuators, enhanced communications and advanced data analytics to collect and aggregate information.
These new tools will enable intelligent systems that understand context, track and manage complex interactions and anticipate requirements. Market verticals that are potentially impacted by innovations in this area include connected cities and homes, smart transportation, smart agriculture, industrial IoT, and retail IoT. I2.

Evaluation Criteria: What We Look for When Evaluating Internet of Things (I) proposals + Take our project assessment to see if your work might be a good fit for NSF funding. Small, wearable device to reduce workplace injuries Kinetic created a small, wearable device to reduce common workplace injuries.
Loaded with sensors that detect motion, twisting, bending and lifting, the device is attached to the belt or waistband of construction, factory or delivery workers. If the device detects improper biomechanics – bad posture or lifting stance – it will “buzz” to alert the worker to correct his or her stance and avert common back injuries.

NSF's $20 million Commercialization Readiness Pilot, announced September 14, 2026 and led by UCF's National Commercialization and Translation Institute, will give six to eight Phase II and IIB deep-tech firms milestone awards of $1 million to $3.75 million. Roughly one in ten NSF Phase IIB alumni will get a seat. Here is how the selection logic actually works.
Read articleNSF's restarted SBIR/STTR program carries two transition rules almost nobody has calendared. Project Pitch invitations issued on or after July 3, 2025 must be converted to a full proposal by November 4, 2026. Phase I awardees whose awards started on or after November 6, 2023 must submit Phase II by the same date. Both cohorts were created by the program lapse, and both cliffs are hard.
Read articleNSF's rebuilt SBIR/STTR program (NSF 26-510) pairs a $305,000 Phase I with a brand-new Strategic Breakthrough award worth up to $30 million for the strongest Phase II companies. The next Project Pitch deadline is July 27, 2026. Here is how the non-dilutive funding ladder now works, why the Project Pitch gate decides everything, and how a founder should sequence the next twelve months.
