NJ CSIT SBIR/STTR Direct Financial Assistance Program

The New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology administers this SBIR/STTR Direct Financial Assistance Program as a state grant route for New Jersey small businesses connected to the federal SBIR/STTR program. Round 5 has an approved pool of USD 875,000 and two grant components: USD 25,000 direct funding for Phase I, Fast Track, or Direct to Phase II award or contract winners, and USD 50,000 bridge funding for Phase II applicants. The source page says the program is currently paused until further notice, even though the same page also describes applications and awards as rolling until funds are exhausted. Treat the listing as between cycles unless CSIT reopens the intake. Applicants need a current New Jersey Tax Clearance Certificate listing the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology, a minimum of one full-time employee, New Jersey-based work requirements, and a qualifying recent federal SBIR/STTR award or Phase II application path.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
