DHS Small Business Innovation Research Program
Funds U.S. small businesses developing homeland security technologies through DHS SBIR grants.
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate administers SBIR as a grant program under the federal Small Business Innovation Research framework. The program funds U.S. small businesses with fewer than 500 employees to develop new processes, products, and technologies for DHS and U.S. government missions.
The captured DHS page states that Phase I typically funds up to USD 175,000 for five months and Phase II typically funds USD 1,000,000 to USD 1,500,000 for 24 to 36 months. DHS describes the solicitation cadence as annual, but the captured page does not provide a current open topic deadline or application URL, so this row is treated as between cycles until the next solicitation page is verified.
Homeland security research and development, prototype demonstration, and new processes, products, and technologies supporting DHS mission areas.
