Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL NIDILRR BISB 0217
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II opportunity under CFDA 93.433 is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically through the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits within the broad category of science, technology, and research and development funding, and it is aimed squarely at supporting small businesses that are building new technologies or products with clear public benefits.
At the federal level, the SBIR program exists to push technological innovation in the private sector while also making sure that small businesses play a meaningful role in meeting federal research and research-and-development needs. Another core goal is to improve the overall return on taxpayer-funded research by turning research investments into outcomes that create economic value and tangible social benefits across the country. In other words, the program is designed to help promising R&D move beyond early ideas and into real-world solutions that can be adopted, sold, and sustained.
Within that larger SBIR framework, NIDILRRs specific focus is disability-related impact. The program is intended to improve the lives of people with disabilities by supporting research and development products created by small businesses. A major emphasis is commercial application: NIDILRR wants the innovations supported through its funding to have a credible path to real-world use, whether that means products reaching consumers, being adopted by service systems, or otherwise being deployed in ways that measurably benefit people with disabilities.
This particular funding announcement is for SBIR Phase II, which is the stage meant to build directly on earlier Phase I work. Phase II funding is intended to expand on Phase I results and continue the development of projects that have already demonstrated feasibility or early promise. Practically, that means applicants are generally expected to be moving from proof-of-concept work into more advanced development activities, such as refining the technology, building and testing more complete prototypes, validating performance in more realistic settings, addressing usability and accessibility issues, strengthening evidence of effectiveness, and preparing for commercialization or broader deployment.
The eligible applicants for this opportunity are small businesses. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity was listed as having an award ceiling of $575,000, with an expectation of making about 4 awards. The opportunity was created on April 13, 2017, with an original closing date of June 12, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, emphasizing the importance of planning ahead for submission logistics.
Key identification details for the announcement include the funding opportunity title, "Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Phase II 93.433 HHS/ACL/NIDILRR," and the funding opportunity number "HHS 2017 ACL NIDILRR BISB 0217." Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as targeted Phase II support for small businesses that are advancing disability-focused innovations, with the clear expectation that Phase I feasibility results will be leveraged into more mature development work and a stronger pathway toward practical, market-ready impact.Apply for HHS 2017 ACL NIDILRR BISB 0217
