The NOAA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program seeds innovation by investing a portion of NOAA’s research and development funding in U.S. small businesses working on high-risk, high-reward projects that ultimately support NOAA’s vision of healthy and resilient ecosystems, communities, and economies. NOAA’s SBIR grants fund the development of innovative products and services with strong commercial potential across all of the NOAA mission space. Reviewers play a critical role by helping to decide which mission-relevant ideas NOAA will fund every year.

We are seeking individuals with expertise in any of the NOAA mission areas (Weather, Climate, Oceans and Coasts, Fisheries, Satellites, Marine and Aviation, Charting, Sanctuaries) and/or expertise in the following technical or methodological approaches: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Citizen Science, Data Collection, Integration, and Cloud Computing, In-Situ Sensing and Sampling, Weather or Climate Modeling or Forecasting, ‘Omics, Remote Sensing, Uncrewed Systems, Aquaculture, and more.
