[Okgrantsmanship] OCAST - OSCR - SBIR/STTR Update

[Mason, Linda]

Good Morning,



I hope everyone is doing well.  I just wanted to take a brief moment to provide an update on the SBIR/STTR program.

The Federal Government shutdown is affecting the SBIR/STTR program.

At the moment the Federal Government shutdown is impacting the SBIR/STTR program.  Currently the IRS EIN registration site is operational, as is the site to receive a DUNS number, though it is unclear if the requests are actually being processed.  Grants.gov<http://Grants.gov>, and SAM are available, but not being updated.  Registration sites for NSF and NIH (eRA Commons and FastLane) have shut down.  We do not yet know if this will have an impact on the December deadlines (NIH and NSF), but we will keep you apprised of the situation.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.



Now is the time to begin work on your NIH or NSF SBIR proposal.

NIH and NSF deadline are December 5thand December2ndrespectively. NIH has a broad topic simply related to health.  NSF has somewhat more specific topics such as advanced manufacturing and nanotechnology, chemical and environmental technologies, and smart health and biomedical technologies.

This is the ideal time to contact OCAST about competing for these awards through our OSCR program. If you would like assistance for finding a suitable topic in either agency, developing a competitive proposal or just have questions about the SBIR/STTR program in general, please know we are here to help and offer our full suite of services.
