America's Seed Fund powered by NSF reopened for FY2026 with two parallel solicitations: NSF 26-510 for deep technologies and a new pilot, NSF 26-511, dedicated to scientific instrumentation. Project Pitch is the mandatory first gate, the first full-proposal deadline is July 27, 2026, and Phase I runs up to $305K. Here is how the topic-agnostic NSF model differs from agency-directed SBIR — and how to use the new pilot.
Read articleNSF restarted its SBIR/STTR programs on May 31, 2026 after a multi-month hiatus, with a $250 million FY26 allocation, a Project Pitch portal reopen on June 2, and a first full-proposal deadline of July 27, 2026. The big structural changes: a new Strategic Breakthrough tier that extends invited Phase II companies up to $30 million, and a $40 million pilot for next-generation scientific instrumentation. Phase I tops out at $305K, Phase II at $1.25M, with November 4 and March 4, 2027 windows behind the July 27 first deadline. For deep-tech startups that watched the NIH SBIR omnibus go dark and DARPA pull back on conventional Phase II slots, this is the most consequential reopening of the year — and the Strategic Breakthrough tier is the first time NSF has competed directly with venture capital at growth-stage check sizes.
