On May 27 NSF stood up Tech Accelerators — a new framework that funds domain-specialist organizations to invest in deep-tech teams in AgTech, MaterialsTech, OceanTech, and SciTech. The July 14 RFI is the field's only chance to shape topics, model, and selection before the first solicitation drops.
Read articleOn September 2, 2026, SBA published an updated commercialization benchmark: firms with more than 25 Phase II awards in five years must derive at least 33 percent of total revenue from non-SBIR sources in FY2027, and 50 percent from FY2028 onward. It takes effect November 15, 2026. Because the measurement window looks backward three completed fiscal years, the first test is already decided — and the second is two-thirds decided. Here is the arithmetic, the history, and what firms near the line should do.
Read articleNSF'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.
