Dear SBIR Insider,
A few important announcements before my open letter to SBA. The SBA's SBIR and STTR Policy Directive (PD) should be released Thursday or Friday of this week. It is supposed to become effective immediately but the agencies will have to see how things "fit" before they jump in. Most of the agencies have been planning for PD adoption based on the last draft, but most have not seen the interim final product. Once it is released, we'll have to study it for a few days before we can discuss the details. Expect a 60 day public comment period, and there will be many!
DOE Update The DOE has released their topics for their FY-13 SBIR/STTR Release (1) which will open August 13, 2012, and close October 15. A letter of intent is required and must be received by September 4. Complete details are available at:
