Grants to USA and territories small businesses for research and development projects to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Applicants are advised that required registrations must be completed before submitting an application. The purpose of the program is to improve the lives of people with disabilities through R/R&D products generated by small businesses and to increase the commercial application of NIDILRR-supported research results and development products.
NIDILRR’s mission is to generate new knowledge and to promote its effective use to improve the abilities of individuals with disabilities to perform activities of their choice in the community and to expand society’s capacity to provide full opportunities and accommodations for its citizens with disabilities. All SBIR projects funded by NIDILRR must address the needs of individuals with disabilities (see 29 U.S.C. 760). An application to NIDILRR’s SBIR program must support this mission and should present a sound approach to the investigation of an important technological, engineering, or scientific question that it is worthy of support under the stated criteria of this program announcement. The scientific and technical merit of the proposed research and research and development (R/R&D) is the primary concern for all work supported by NIDILRR.
The purpose of the Federal SBIR program is to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector, strengthen the role of small business in meeting Federal research or research and development (R/R&D) needs, and improve the return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the nation. The specific purpose of NIDILRR's SBIR program is to improve the lives of people with disabilities through R/R&D products generated by small businesses, and to increase the commercial application of NIDILRR-supported research results and development products.
Applicants must propose Phase I R/R&D projects that support NIDILRR's mission of improving the lives of individuals with disabilities in at least one of the following outcome domains: (1) community living and participation, (2) health and function, or (3) employment.
