NASA restructured its SBIR/STTR programme on 17 April 2026, moving from a single annual solicitation to a Broad Agency Announcement model under 80NSSC26R0003 that runs through 30 September 2027, with technical subtopics released in rolling appendices rather than one fixed list.
For small businesses working on AI, autonomy and robotics, this is a meaningful change: instead of one deadline a year, there is a standing announcement with multiple entry points, and appendices such as 26A-I and 26B-I open and close on their own schedules - a recent Phase I appendix opened 21 April 2026, closed 21 May 2026, and announced selections in August 2026.
The practical implication is that companies should monitor appendix releases continuously rather than planning around a single annual cycle.
Relevant technology scope spans AI and machine learning, autonomous systems, robotics and unmanned systems for space exploration, cybersecurity and data systems for aerospace missions, in-space manufacturing, lunar surface technologies, Mars mission support, Earth observation, satellite communications, propulsion, life support, and materials for extreme environments.
Funding is non-dilutive: Phase I awards run up to USD 225,000 for feasibility, and Phase II up to USD 1,275,000 for development and maturation, so the full sequence approaches USD 1,500,000 without equity. Eligibility follows standard SBIR rules - U.S. small businesses with fewer than 500 employees - with STTR requiring a partnering research institution.
Because subtopics are the real gating mechanism, teams should map their technology to a live appendix subtopic before investing in a proposal.

NASA moved to a Broad Agency Announcement model on 17 April 2026 under BAA 80NSSC26R0003, valid through 30 September 2027, with technical subtopics issued in rolling appendices such as 2026-2027 BAA Appendix 26A-I (SBIR) and Appendix 26B-I (SBIR/STTR) rather than a single annual topic list. Each appendix carries its own open and close dates - a recent Phase I appendix opened 21 April 2026, closed 21 May 2026, with selections announced in August 2026 - so applicants must track appendix releases on the NASA SBIR/STTR site rather than a single annual deadline. Relevant subject areas for AI-focused companies include artificial intelligence and machine learning, autonomous systems, robotics and unmanned systems for space exploration, cybersecurity and data systems for aerospace missions, in-space manufacturing, lunar surface technologies, Mars mission support, Earth observation, satellite communications, propulsion systems, life support, and materials for extreme environments. Phase I awards are up to USD 225,000 and Phase II awards up to USD 1,275,000. Proposals must map to a specific subtopic in a currently open appendix; work that does not align to a live subtopic is not eligible for award. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows phase I awards are up to USD 225,000 and Phase II awards are up to USD 1,275,000. amount_min reflects the Phase I ceiling and amount_max the Phase II ceiling, so a company progressing through both phases can access up to approximately USD 1,500,000 in non-dilutive funding across the sequence. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.

NASA shifted SBIR/STTR to a rolling BAA model with 50% higher Phase I awards ($225K), reset proposal limits per appendix, and year-round submission windows. What small businesses need to know.
Read articleFor Program Year 2026, NASA replaced its single January SBIR/STTR solicitation with a Broad Agency Announcement that releases topics in appendices throughout the year — with proposal limits resetting each time. Phase I awards now run up to $225,000. Here is what the structural shift means, why it favors prepared companies, and how to build a year-round SBIR strategy around it.
Read articleThe Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act of 2026 saved the programs after a six-month lapse, but it also added $30M strategic-breakthrough awards, per-company proposal caps, and mandatory national-security screening. Here is what changed across all eleven SBIR agencies — and what it means for your next proposal.
