Sunshine Act Notice, 6850-6851 [05-2564]

Download as PDF 6850 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 9, 2005 / Notices incentive for small businesses to profit from the commercialization of technology, products, and services developed through research and development activities funded under the NIDRR sponsored SBIR program. The SBIR program has three-phases: Phases I—startup, Phase II—evaluate commercialization potential, and Phase III—move from the laboratory into the marketplace. However, NIDRR only supports Phase I and Phase II SBIR projects. Phase I grants allow entities to determine, insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit and feasibility of ideas submitted under the SBIR program. Applications for Phase I focus on research that will contribute to proving the scientific or technical feasibility of the approach, concept or product identified in the proposal, which is a prerequisite for continued ED support in Phase II. The purpose of Phase II is to expand on the results of and to further pursue the development of Phase I projects and to begin to explore the potential for commercialization. What Are Standing Review Panels? Phase I and II SBIR grant award decisions are made with the input of standing review panels. Standing review panels are groups of individuals with experience or expertise in specific scientific areas or areas of research. The standing review panels mechanism enhances consistency during a given review cycle and across review cycles. Panels evaluate the scientific and technical merit of grant applications. Individuals are assigned to panels based on their expertise and the priority area(s) assigned to review panels. What Are the Qualifications of a Standing Review Panel Member? NIDRR obtains the services of the best-qualified reviewers for standing review panels, including those with disabilities and those from diverse backgrounds. NIDRR is interested in obtaining the services of individuals with training, education, expertise and/ or knowledge in a range of areas supported by the 1999–2003 NIDRR long-range research plan (Plan) (e.g., assistive technology, health and function, employment and vocational rehabilitation, independent living and community integration, education and transition activities, and engineering). The Plan can be accessed on the Internet at the following site: https://www.ed.gov/ rschstat/research/pubs/. Individuals may qualify to be peer reviewers on the basis of education, training and professional expertise or some combination of personal and VerDate jul<14>2003 16:49 Feb 08, 2005 Jkt 205001 professional experience. Employees of the Federal government are not eligible to serve as peer reviewers for the SBIR grants program. How Long Will Members of the Standing Review Panel Serve?
