SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: NSF Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
Program Phase I, NSF Small Business
Technology Transfer (STTR) Program
Phase I, and NSF Fast-Track Pilot Presubmission Project Pitch Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Abstract: The NSF Small Business
Innovation Research Program (SBIR)
Phase I, Small Business Technology
Transfer Program (STTR) Phase I, and
SBIR/STTR Fast-Track Pilot Project
Pitch is an NSF SBIR/STTR presubmission process that conveys
information needed to direct the
proposed SBIR/STTR project to the
appropriate NSF Program Director (PD)
for review and possible proposal
submission invitation. The Project Pitch
is to be submitted by the applying small
business concern (as ‘‘proposer’’) to the
relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I or
Fast-Track Pilot technology topic. The
Project Pitch outlines solicitationspecific aspects of the project (such as
the proposed technology innovation))
and captures the same requested
information, as outlined in the NSF
SBIR/STTR Phase I and Fast-Track
Program solicitations, but all within one
secure, web-based form. Specifically,
the form collects the submitting
proposer company and team
information, the proposed technology
innovation; the technical objectives and
challenges, and the market opportunity.
The form also allows the proposer to
choose (from a drop-down menu) the
most relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I
and Fast-Track Pilot technical topic
area, ensuring that the submitted Project
Pitch goes to the most appropriate
Program Director. For the SBIR/STTR
Fast-Track Pilot submission, the Project
Pitch encompasses the same questions
as outlined in the Phase I Project Pitch
but also seeks responses to three key
eligibility requirements: NSF lineage,
customer-discovery experience, and
confirmation that the team members are
currently employed by the company.
These requirements expand on the
details of the previously required
information on the proposed technology
innovation, the market opportunity, and
the company and team, respectively.
Respondents: Small business
concerns who submit proposals to
NSF’s SBIR/STTR Phase I and FastTrack Pilot Programs.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 2500.
