SBIR/STTR Phase II
Phase II is focused on the development, demonstration, and delivery of a technology innovation. These awards are made to small businesses (and their research institution partners in STTR) who successfully demonstrated the feasibility of their technology idea during Phase I. Only small businesses that were awarded a Phase I are eligible to apply for Phase II.
The next STTR Phase II solicitation is scheduled for Summer 2025; dates will be announced soon.
