Coast Guard members are invited to DHS’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Showcase for the U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday, April 14, 2021.
The SBIR Program is a three-phase competitive award system which provides qualified small business concerns with opportunities to propose innovative ideas that meet specific homeland security research and development technology needs.
Phase 1 provides up to 150,000 for feasibility testing. Phase II firms receive up to $1,000,000 for 24 months to continue R&D on their initial project and build a prototype demonstration. Phase III is funded from a private or non-SBIR government source for commercialization or continued development and testing from an effort made under prior SBIR funding.
During the Coast Guard Showcase, you'll learn more about the advances made by current Phase II SBIR award winners working on projects to advance DHS technology needs and how they may be able to support the USCG!
This is a government-only event, delivered via remote access, to facilitate participation. Presentations will be divided into two sessions, the morning session (10-11:30 a.m. EST) and the afternoon session (1-3 p.m. EST). You can choose to attend any, or all, of the presentations!
