Program Solicitation NSF 26-510, issued by the National Science Foundation Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships on May 22, 2026, seeks proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I, Phase II, and Fast-Track programs. This initiative focuses on the development of deep technologies designed to enhance U.S. competitiveness and security. The program is set aside for firms qualifying as small business concerns under NAICS code 541715. It replaces previous solicitations NSF 24-579, 24-580, and 24-582, with an anticipated total funding amount of 210 million dollars. Funding levels vary by program phase, with Phase I awards up to 305,000 dollars and Phase II awards up to 1.25 million dollars. Additional funding is available through Phase IIB supplements ranging from 50,000 to 500,000 dollars, Commercial Partnerships supplements up to 20 percent of the Phase II award, and Strategic Breakthrough proposals up to 30 million dollars. Proposals must be submitted via Research.gov and comply with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide. Multiple submission deadlines are established between July 2026 and July 2027. Awards are determined based on three primary merit review criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. The review process involves compliance checks and evaluations by NSF Program Officers and subject-matter experts through ad hoc or panel reviews. In instances where proposals are deemed equal after merit review, preference may be given to institutions with lower indirect cost rates.
