Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) (Army)
Abstract
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program can participate in any of the three (FY.1, FY.2, and FY.3) Department of Defense (DoD) SBIR Broad Agency Announcements (BAA). The process begins with a call for topics to the Joint Program Committees (JPCs), multi-Service committees established to manage research, development, test and evaluation for DHA sponsored research. DHA SBIR topics are submitted directly to the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and then forwarded to the JPCs for review and internal ranking. Topic Authors brief their topics at a Topic Review Meeting attended by DHA Research& Development Directorate (J9) SBIR Program Director (PD) and personnel from the supporting USAMRMC offices. Approved DHA SBIR topics are published in DoD SBIR BAAs. Small businesses submit proposals against topics which are then evaluated by a Technical Evaluation Team (TET) made up of a Team Chief and Technical Evaluators. TETs recommend proposals for selection. All recommended proposals are reviewed by the JPCs and the DHA SBIR PD. Phase I proposal selections are announced and contract negotiations begin. Phase I contracts are awarded up to $150K for 6 months. Follow-on Phase II projects can be awarded up to $1M for 24 months. This process ensures the SBIR program addresses the multi-agency science and technology priority of innovation in life sciences, biology, and neuroscience.
