mil/About/Mission/Research-and-Development/JSTO-SBIR-STTR-Process/) CBD SBIR/STTR Phase I awards are competitively reviewed and selected, and are for a period of performance of six months. A Small Business Concern (SBC) must prove feasibility of concept to be eligible for Phase II submission.
Phase II represents a substantial Research and Development (R&D) effort over two years and is intended to result in an innovative technology prototype, meeting the requirements of the original BAA Topic, anticipated to meet the much more difficult stage of commercial viability, which is referred to as Phase III.
All CBD SBIR/STTR Phase I awardees may submit for a competitive Phase II selection within five months of a successful Phase I effort. Phase III is the goal of every SBIR and STTR effort and represents the commercialization phase of the program.
Phase III must be subsidized from non-SBIR or -STTR funding; simply, the funds cannot come from the SBIR/STTR program but a standard agency procurement that continues to fund the mission for the agency. Hosted by Department of War Information Activity - WEB. mil
