Solicitation # nsf-seedfund-BT-BT2_SBIR

The National Science Foundation is seeking proposals under the Biological Technologies solicitation, specifically within the Aquaculture subtopic, to advance engineering and science innovation across the biological spectrum. This initiative focuses on utilizing or modifying living organisms, systems, and biological processes to develop new biochemicals and medical or agricultural products. Eligible projects may include bioengineering to enhance functions in cells and tissues, as well as the creation of enabling technologies such as genomic tools, bioinformatics, and new manufacturing processes for biologics. This opportunity is a total small business set-aside under the SBIR/STTR mandate for companies with fewer than 500 employees. While early-stage feasibility and proof-of-concept studies with human subjects may be acceptable, the program strictly prohibits funding for clinical trials, safety studies, the development of clinical-stage drug candidates, or medical devices.
