*** The next Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), for FY27, will be updated on this page and is targeted to be released between November 10th – 30th, 2026***
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program anticipates releasing the FY2027 Phase I Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in the coming weeks, pending final administrative approvals.
Once published, announcements will be made to (1) Grants.gov; (2) NOAA SBIR Funding Opportunities webpage; and (3) to the NOAA email list.
Specific FY27 topic areas and total funding amounts will be formally published within the NOFO. If you are looking for potent
ial topic area fits, the NOAA SBIR team cannot provide individual assessments for Small Business Concerns (SBCs), but we do encourage you to reference past topic areas in the FY25 Phase I NOFO. The FY27 topic areas will slightly differ, but again closely reflect NOAA’s mission.
In preparation for the release, interested SBCs are strongly encouraged to complete all required registrations with the following:
- Small Business Administration (SBA) SBIR Program: gov/company-registration;
- System for Award Management (SAM): Sam.gov; and
- eRA’s grants portal: New to eRA Commons
Additionally, NOAA is always recruiting for their SBIR Reviewer Team. Find more information and submit a reviewer interest form at the SBIR for Reviewers webpage.
Further updates will be shared as soon as the funding opportunity is officially live.
Sincerely,
NOAA SBIR Team
