SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: NSF Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
Program Phase I and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program
Phase I Presubmission Project Pitch Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145-New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
Abstract: The NSF Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR)
Phase I and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) Phase I
Project Pitch is the new NSF SBIR/STTR pre-submission process that
conveys information needed to direct the proposed SBIR/STTR project to
the appropriate NSF Program Director (PD) for review and possible
proposal submission invitation. This Project Pitch is to be submitted
by the applying small business (as ``proposer'') to the relevant NSF
SBIR/STTR Phase I technology topic. The Project Pitch outlines
solicitation-specific aspects of the project (such as the proposed
technology innovation and project objectives with associated level of
technical risk). In the past, this Project Pitch (previously referred
to as the Executive Summary) was an optional submission via email as an
attached two to three-page (maximum) document and was often in varying
formats or missing some parts of the required document elements, which
in turn caused delays or additional corrections on behalf of the
proposer. The NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Project Pitch form captures the
same requested information, as outlined in the NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I
Program solicitation, but all within one secure, web-based form. In
specific, the form collects submitting proposer company and team
information; the proposed technology innovation; the technical
objectives and challenges; and the market opportunity. The form also
allows the proposer to choose (from a drop-down menu) the most relevant
NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I technical topic area, ensuring that the submitted
Project Pitch goes to the most appropriate Program Director.
Respondents: Small businesses who submit proposals to NSF's SBIR/
STTR Phase I Program.
Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2,000.
Burden on the Public: 2 hours (per response) for an annual total of
4,000 hours.
