The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will soon releasesubtopics for its FY09 SBIR Solicitation. Until Sept 15, 2008, companies interested in specific NIST technologies (patented or not) are invited to submit their interest SBIR TT.


The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is expected to issue, in mid-September 2008, SBIR/STTR FY 2009 solicitation (www.science.doe.gov/sbir). The deadline for submission of grant applications will be no later than mid-November 2008. Successful applicants (approximately 300 for SBIR and 30 for STTR) may receive up to $100,000 for a Phase I grant for a period of about nine months to develop the feasibility of the idea.
