I have already completed a feasibility study without SBIR/STTR assistance and would like to move forward with the R&D effort. Can I compete for a Phase II award without having been awarded a Phase I?
No. The SBIR Program was created for NEW innovations to meet existing federal R&D needs, and as a result all businesses must enter in the Phase I stage. The results of the Phase I feasibility study play an important role in determining whether there will be a Phase II award to continue the effort.
