Innovators Wanted.
NASA SBIR Ignite
The NASA SBIR Ignite solicitation is now closed.
NASA anticipates sending notifications in mid-November for projects selected for negotiation of a Phase I contract.
As the entrepreneurial aerospace ecosystem continues to evolve, NASA recognizes that public-private partnerships produce greater impact. SBIR Ignite is a new way for small businesses that have a commercially-viable technology idea to use NASA as a stepping stone in their path towards commercial success. With a greater emphasis on commercialization, SBIR Ignite funds U.S. early-stage, high-risk technology development to help make companies and their technologies more attractive to private sector investors, customers, and partners.
NASA is fully committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) for our entire workforce and all our workplaces.
