NASA’s SBIR/STTR Program is moving to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to procure research and development activities from small businesses. The BAA sets requirements for submitting proposals to NASA for SBIR (including SBIR Ignite) and STTR Phase I and Phase II projects. NASA will solicit specific funding opportunities through appendices released throughout the BAA’s effective period, with an anticipated 2 to 3 appendices each fiscal year. Each appendix will include proposal package instructions, solicited research and technology subtopics, and opportunity-specific requirements that take precedence over the BAA if conflicts arise. More information about the release schedule is available on NASA’s website.
