· Award Procedure |

All accepted applications are reviewed for scientific merit by an appropriate initial review group and a national advisory council. If the application is recommended for approval and a decision to make an award is made, a formal award notice will be sent to the applicant or applicant institution. All accepted SBIR/STTR applications are evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate scientific peer review panel and by a national advisory council or board. All applications receiving a priority score compete for available SBIR/STTR set-aside funds on the basis of scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the proposed research, program relevance, and program balance among the areas of research. |
