Need help?
If you have any questions or need support, contact the NASA SBIR/STTR Helpdesk at sbir@reisystems.com; the Helpdesk operates from 9:00am – 8:00pm ET, Monday through Friday.
Tips to Help You Get Started
- Carefully read the solicitation you are applying to, including (a) the Executive Summary, which features information about the new foreign disclosure requirements passed by Congress, (b) Chapter 2, which has information about how to complete the Small Business Administration (SBA) and gov registration processes, and (c) Chapter 9, which contains the Focus Areas and Subtopics that you will need to choose from.
- Consider applying for the Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Program, which helps small businesses commercialize their innovations. To do this, “opt-in” for I-Corps when submitting your proposal; opting in does not obligate you to participate.
- Review other materials available on the NASA SBIR/STTR program website, such as (a) the Firm Templates, which will get you familiar with required forms, and (b) the Resource Library, especially the “Preparing for a Phase 1 submission to increase likelihood of award” section.
