AI Contract Overview
Program Solicitation NSF 26-510, issued by the National Science Foundation Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships on May 22, 2026, seeks proposals for Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I, Phase II, and Fast-Track programs. The initiative focuses on developing deep technologies to enhance U.S. competitiveness and security. This solicitation replaces previous versions NSF 24-579, 24-580, and 24-582. Eligibility is limited to small business concerns with fewer than 500 employees, including affiliates. Proposals must be submitted via Research.gov and comply with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide and updated research security policies. Funding levels vary by program: Phase I awards are up to 305,000 dollars, Phase II awards up to 1,250,000 dollars, and Fast-Track awards up to 1,555,555 dollars. Additionally, active Phase II awardees may apply for Phase IIB supplements between 50,000 and 500,000 dollars or Technology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships supplements up to 20 percent of their Phase II award. Strategic Breakthrough proposals may request up to 30,000,000 dollars. Phase II projects typically last 24 months, while Fast-Track projects combine a 6 to 12 month Phase I component with an 18 to 24 month Phase II component. Awards are based on three merit review criteria: Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, and Commercial Potential. NSF may give preference to institutions with lower indirect cost rates when merit reviews are equal. Submission requirements include a mandatory Project Pitch and official invitation for Phase I and Fast-Track applicants, while Phase II is restricted to previous Phase I awardees. There is a limit of one proposal per organization and one per PI or co-PI. Compliance with the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 and Executive Order 14332 is required.
