For 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.
