Solicitations for participation as Research Institution (RI) in Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR), Phase I

Solicitations

 

Solicitations are invited from qualified US institutions to participate as partner Research Institution (RI) in a National Science Foundation Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposal to be submitted for third quarter of 2020 (deadline September 3). A project pitch followed by invitation is first step of process. If recommended for an STTR Phase I award, the small business proposer will need to complete a Cooperative Research Agreement (CRA) between the small business and the research institution prior to award.
