NASA: SBIR/STTR Program Update 3/14/26

 

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Small Business Innovation Research & Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Program

 

The SBIR and STTR programs have been reauthorized.

With that, we are working to get funding opportunities available as quickly as possible. We know you are eager to start, and we are looking forward to your proposals!

New Solicitation Method

As previously shared, this year we are transitioning to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for both our Phase I and Phase II opportunities. The BAA will empower us to release subtopics seeking your technologies – for SBIR, STTR, and SBIR Ignite – over multiple appendices throughout the year.

Soon, we will release the BAA itself, which will outline proposal guidelines and requirements. We plan to open Phase I SBIR and STTR opportunities with the release of Appendices 26A SBIR, 26B SBIR, and 26B STTR.

We will post all information about the BAA to our BAA Information Hub and share updates through emails and our newsletter, so make sure you sign up to receive communications on our website.

2025 SBIR Phase II

The 2025 SBIR Phase II solicitation will not be included as an appendix to the BAA but will be its own solicitation. We will send an email directly to the eligible 2025 SBIR Phase I awardees regarding the 2025 SBIR Phase II solicitation soon.

ProSAMS Registration

You can get a head start on proposal preparations by completing your registration now for ProSAMS—the program’s proposal submissions and award management system. ProSAMS is already available for registering your small business or updating your registration information. This Digital Guidewill walk you through the registration process.

We look forward to working with you in the coming year!
