Leveraging America’s Seed

Fund Office of Investment & Innovation

→Meet federal research and development needs

→ Increase private-sector commercialization of innovation derived from federal research and development funding

→Stimulate technological innovation

→Foster and encourage participation in innovation and entrepreneurship by women and socially/economically disadvantaged individuals

→Foster technology transfer through cooperative R&D between small businesses and research institutions (STTR)

Goals

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

→ ~$2.5 billion set-aside each year

→ 3.2% of the extramural research budget for agencies with a budget greater than $100 million per year

→ ~5,000 new awards each year

Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

→ ~$350 million set-aside each year

→ 0.45% of the extramural research budget for agencies with a budget greater than $1 billion per year

→ Parallel program which requires small businesses to subcontract with a U.S. research institution

Best Things about SBIR/STTR

→ Non-Diluted Capital – The funding agency cannot take an equity position or ownership of your firm

→ IP/Data Rights protection – Government can’t share your reports or data with anyone outside of the federal government for 5 years (DoD) or 4 years (other agencies)

→ Direct follow on Phase III awards – No need for further competition, which benefits both the government and small businesses

Award Phase I

Solicitation to Award Process

Three Phase Process

What does an SBIR/STTR firm look like?

• Company must be for profit, U.S. owned and operated, and under 500 people

• Work must be done in the U.S.

• Focus is on performing R&D – Not purchasing equipment, commercializing a technology that has already been developed, or one that has very low risk and only needs capital

Principal Investigator (PI)

→ Must be employed by the small

business (or partnering

research institution for STTR)

at time of award (check

solicitation)

→ Should have appropriate

expertise to oversee project

scientifically and technically

→ Expertise of the PI and team are

one of the three evaluation factors

Unique Features of Program

Phased Approach

• Phase I – Feasibility research (6-12 months; $225,000)

• Phase II – Research toward prototype (24 months; $750,000)

• Phase IIB – Matching funds against outside investment (12 to

24 month extension; up to an additional $500,000)

• Phase III – Product development to first revenues

(non-SBIR/STTR funding)






Program Statistics

Company Size: ~ 92% of awardees have 10 or fewer

employees

History: ~ 87% of awardees have never had a prior

SBIR/STTR Phase II award from any agency

Company Age: ~ 78% of awardee companies were

incorporated within the past 5 years

Start-up Creation: Many Phase I awardees have just formed

their business based on the availability of SBIR funding






• NSF is not final customer; does not buy product/service/process

• NSF does not claim IP (government does have royalty-free rights)

• NSF wants grantees to successfully commercialize their technologies

• Investment dollars beyond SBIR are needed

• NSF does not identify the application or technology space

• Small business identifies market need; proposes a tech-based solution

• Broad program topics cover almost every area of technology

• Topic fit less important than meeting technical/commercial requirements





Technology Areas

• Advanced Manufacturing and Nanotechnologies

• Advanced Materials and Instrumentation

• Biological Technologies

• Biomedical Technologies

• Chemical and Environmental Technologies

• Digital Health and Medical Devices

• Educational Technologies and Applications

• Electronic Hardware, Robotics, and Wireless Technologies

• Information Technologies

• Internet of Things, Semiconductors, and Photonic Devices and

Materials

• Other Topics





What We Fund

R&D to overcome significant technical hurdles

Novel, proprietary

Prove feasibility/viability of a new product/process/service

High technical risk, early-stage development

A significant commercial opportunity

Game-changing technology in chosen market/application space

Product-market fit validated by customers/partners





What We Do Not Fund

× Basic research (primary goal being knowledge creation)

× Incremental improvement to an existing product/service/process

× Projects that lack strong chance of commercial success

× NSF funding cannot make a big impact on company’s prospects

× Analytical/market studies of existing technology/product/service/ process





Review Process

• A sound approach to establish technical and commercial

feasibility

• Qualified technical team

• Sufficient access to resources

• Reflects “state-of-the-art”

Review Criteria: Intellectual Merit





Review Process

Review Criteria: Broader Commercial Impact

Commercial and societal benefits

Business team possesses relevant skills

Previous success in commercializing technology

Competitive advantage of technology

Leads to enabling technologies

Positioned to attract additional funding from non-SBIR sources





Review Process

Submitting a proposal to NSF does not constitute public

disclosure

All information treated as confidential

Proprietary sections/details may be marked

Proposals are reviewed by technical and commercial experts

Process may last 4-5 months

Awards begin about 6 months after submission

You could be the next SBIR/STTR success

Easy and Non-intrusive Nanoscale Diagnostic Platform

DNA Medicine Institute (DMI), Cambridge, Massachusetts

Challenge

NASA had been searching for ways to monitor the health of astronauts during long missions using tests that would be easy to administer and are not intrusive. NASA also wanted to enable astronauts to address medical issues immediately without waiting for guidance from mission control.

Innovation

DMI developed a comprehensive nanoscale diagnostic platform to meet these stringent requirements. The solution includes fluorescence-based test strips, a hand-held sensor and software to generate a medical results dashboard.

98

PHASE III SUCCESS

$525,000 Grand Prize

winner of the Nokia

XChallenge. Awarded

Over several million

dollars in funding from

private investors, and

multiple biotech and

pharmaceutical

partners.

SNAPSHOT

Self-diagnosis for

astronauts on long

missions in outer space is

possible using an

innovative blood analysis

system which can

generate comprehensive

medical test results within

minutes using a single

drop of blood.

DARPA makes pivotal investments in ideas that lead to breakthrough technologies for national security.

To maximize the pool of innovative proposal concepts it receives, DARPA strongly encourages participation by all capable sources: industry, academia, and individuals.

The DARPA Culture • Maintain and encourage innovation and the ability to execute rapidly and effectively.

• DARPA Program Managers – “Key individuals” are:

• selected from industry, academia, and Government agencies (longevity with DARPA 3-5 years)

• considered at the top of their fields

• tackles difficult challenges and takes big risks which push the limits of their disciplines.

Doing Business with DARPA

8/27/2018 111

http://www.darpa.mil/about-us/about-darpa

Distribution Statement “A”

(Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited)

• Become familiar with the challenges and opportunities of National Security.

• Contact a DARPA Program Manager (PM) about your idea prior to submitting a white paper or proposal to gain insight into the general need for the type of effort. PMs are the key to working with DARPA.

• Ideas should be compelling with potential for revolutionary change.

• Visit www.grants.gov or www.fedbizopps.gov to view DARPA Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), Research Announcement (RAs), and Requests for Proposals (RFPs).

• Visit https://sbir.defensebusiness.org/ to view DoD SBIR and STTR Program Announcements.

Doing Business with DARPA (continued)

8/27/2018 112 Distribution Statement “A”


Think boldly. Embrace risk.

http://www.grants.gov/

http://www.fedbizopps.gov/

https://sbir.defensebusiness.org/

Streamlined and Competitive Process

Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Characteristics:

• No common Statement of Work (SOW)

• Varying technical approaches/solutions are anticipated

• Proposals are evaluated with technical quality and approach as the main factor

• Communication with proposers allowed during the open period of the BAA

• White papers or proposal abstracts may be solicited

• Usually have Industry Days where Program Managers brief interested communities on the research program solicitation

BAA Types:

• Tech Offices will issue program-specific BAAs throughout the year

• Tech Offices will also issue one or two year-long BAAs with a more general scope (rolling submission process)



115

Seedlings

• Open to all capable sources

• Usually submitted through Office-Wide BAA

• Small short duration (6-9 months) projects

• Move concepts from “disbelief” to “mere doubt”

• May lead to the next generation of program ideas

Programs

• Open to all capable sources

• Proposals solicited through specific program BAAs

• Often multi-year, multi-disciplinary efforts

• Technology development to move from “possibility” to “capability”

Seedlings vs. Programs vs. SBIR/STTR

SBIR/STTR

• Open to eligible small business concerns

• Usually submitted through DoD SBIR/STTR BAA

• Phase I feasibility up to $225K

• Phase II prototype development up to $1.5M

• May lead to the next generation of program ideas



116

Important questions to consider when approaching DARPA with ideas:

• What are you trying to do? (no jargon!)

• How does this get done today?

• What is new about your approach?

• If you succeed, what difference do you think it will make?

• How long do you think it will take?

• Can your work transition (to the DoD or others)?

• How much will it cost?
