NIST SBIR Phase II
Funds NIST SBIR Phase I awardees continuing science and technology R&D projects into Phase II.
NIST SBIR Phase II is the follow-on award stage under the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Small Business Innovation Research program. NIST states that Phase II awards are limited to small businesses that have successfully completed Phase I projects, which makes this a direct company path but only for prior NIST SBIR Phase I awardees.
The captured NIST source says the FY2025 Phase II NOFO is closed and tells applicants to check back for updates on the next SBIR NOFO. Because the source does not state the next Phase II deadline, award cap, period of performance, or detailed forms, this page is marked between cycles and leaves those fields blank rather than guessing from older solicitations.
The deep-tech fit is core. Phase II continues R&D in NIST's science and technology mission areas, with a commercialization path through the SBIR program. Companies should confirm the active Phase II NOFO before planning budget, schedule, technical scope, or evidence of prior Phase I completion.
Continuation R&D for small businesses that successfully completed NIST SBIR Phase I projects in the research areas covered by the relevant NIST SBIR NOFO.
