Innovative small biz funding

ARLINGTON, Va. - The Department of the Navy wants to collaborate with innovative small businesses to deliver advanced technology that will sustain and modernize existing ships, aircraft and ground vehicles. To solicit a wide variety of small business partners, the DoN Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs—both located at the Office of Naval Research (ONR)—have announced expanded funding opportunities through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). BAAs are requests for scientific or research proposals. The new BAA, titled 20.1/20.A, closes on Feb. 12. It offers more than $250 million in funding opportunities and spans 112 research topic areas where the Navy wants to focus more resources.
