SMALL BUSINESS SELECTIONS
The Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency announced today
the selection of 80 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposals for
funding under the Technology Reinvestment Project's (TRP) FY95 competition. A
total of almost $7.9 million will be awarded to these winners, with the average
award amounting to approximately $99,000.
The 80 winners were selected from a total of 354 proposals submitted under
eight technology focus areas in the TRP's SBIR competition. Under the SBIR
program, selections are first made for Phase I awards to determine the
scientific or technical merit and feasibility of the proposed idea. Phase II
contracts for up to $750,000 may be awarded after successful completion of
Phase I. Phase II funds the principal research or research and development
effort and requires a well-defined, deliverable product or process. All of
today's selections are for Phase I awards.
The selections for the larger TRP Technology Development competition area have
been delayed due to the uncertainty surrounding the FY 1996 Defense budget.
The evaluation for the two competition areas is independent, so the selection
of these SBIR Phase I proposals has no bearing on the selection of Technology
Development proposals.
Media can obtain a copy of the full list of winners from Lt. Col. Donna
Pastor, Pentagon room 2E765, at (703) 695-0192. Other requestors should
contact (703) 697-5737.
