- Description
- The Department of Education is soliciting research proposals from small business firms who qualify for participation in the Small Business Innovative Research Program (SBIR). SBIR is a competitive program that encourages small businesses to explore their technological potential, as well as, providing incentive to profit from its commercialization. The Small Business Act and the Small Business Innovation Research Program Reauthorization Act requires that Federal agencies with R&D appropriations in excess of $100,000,000 participate annually in the SBIR program. By including qualified small businesses in the nation's R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated and the United States gains entrepreneurial spirit as it meets its specific research and development needs. SBIR funds help small businesses develop new products and services that relate to the mission of the agency. Work under this program will be monitored by the Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (IES)/NCES Contracting Office Representatives and the CAM Contract Specialists. SBIR awards are divided into three phases: Phase I awards are funded up to six months and $100,000. Phase II awards are funded up to two years and $750,000. Phase III awardees do not receive SBIR funding. However, Federal agencies may award non-SBIR follow-on funding for products/processes developed in Phases I and II that prove to be commercially viable. The funding available for this solicitation is for Phase I of the SBIR program. Phase I determines, as far as possible, the scientific or technical merit of ideas submitted under the SBIR program. The proposal should concentrate on R/R&D that will significantly contribute to proving the feasibility of the technological approach, a prerequisite for further ED support in Phase II. Period of Performance: Department of Education IES awards are for periods up to 6-months in amounts up to $100,000. The Issue Date is 11/23/2007. The Due Date for Proposals is January 22, 2008, 12:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time. The Estimated Awards Date for Phase I is March 27, 2008. Additional information on how to submit a proposal for this requirement is located at: Solicitation at http://www.fedbizopps.gov., Solicitation Number: ED-08-R-0007. Each organization submitting a proposal must qualify as a small business concern as defined by the SBA at the time of the award.
