The Department of the Navy (DoN) RIF program is designed to provide SBIR Phase II firms and other small businesses with innovative technologies that resolve operational challenges or meet critical national security needs an opportunity to gain access to bridge funding to cross the so called "valley of death".
In order to be selected, projects must be able to transition into an acquisition program or field a DoN prototype system within 36 months (24 months for DoN RIF project and 12 months post project transition) and cost not more than $3 million in RIF program funding.
Successful applications will have significant existing support from an acquisition program and/or Prime Contractor/Systems Integrator, will already have completed at least some initial prototype testing, and will have an understanding of the requirements necessary to achieve TRL 7/8.
Firms that have not successfully completed their initial Phase II efforts, do not have a detailed transition path into an identified acquisition program, or have not worked with a Prime Contractor/Systems Integrator to identify transition requirements is very unlikely to be selected for award.

The list of selections is an ongoing process that may take several months to complete. You can register on the 12.2 SBIR Selections page to receive notifications of updates to the list.
