- Description
- The U.S. Department of Education anticipates the release of the 2011 Small Business Innovative Research Program Fast-Track for Special Education solicitation on or about December 1, 2010. This solicitation is for Special Education only. Any proposals received that are not Special Education will not be considered. SBIR is a competitive program that encourages small businesses to explore their technological potential, as well as, providing incentive to profit from its commercialization. By including qualified small businesses in the nation's R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated and the United States gains entrepreneurial spirit as it meets its specific research and development needs. FAST-TRACK option – A Fast-Track proposal is a single proposal that contains both Phase I and Phase II activities. Through the Fast-Track (Phase I & II) option, the Institute intends to fund meritorious proposals that have high potential for the commercialization of technologically innovative products that contribute to improved student learning or teacher practices from pre-kindergarten through adult education. By providing the opportunity to concurrently submit and review a proposal that contains both Phase I and Phase II activities, the Fast-Track option has the potential to minimize any funding gap between the Phase I and Phase II periods. In order to apply for Fast-Track funding, offerors must submit a full Fast Track proposal. A Fast-Track Technical Evaluation Review Panel will evaluate all eligible Fast-Track proposals. The Fast-Track proposal will receive a single rating for the proposed Phase I and Phase II project. Phase I. – Phase I is to determine, insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit of ideas submitted under the SBIR program. The proposal should concentrate on R/R&D that will significantly contribute to proving the feasibility of the technological approach, a prerequisite for further ED support in Phase II. Institute awards are for periods up to six (6) months in amounts up to $150,000. Phase II – Phase II is to expand on the results of and to further pursue the development of Phase I projects. Phase II is the principle R/R&D effort. It requires a more comprehensive plan, outlining the effort in detail including the commercial potential. Awards are for periods up to two (2)-years in amounts up to $900,000. Participation is encouraged from firms with strong research or research and development (R/R&D) capabilities in the following priority area(s): Priority 1: Education Technology Products Used by Children, Students, or Teachers (or other Instructional Personnel or Service Providers) in Special Education.
