NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) 2023 Phase I Solicitation, January 2023 (Space Weather R202R)

From: James Spann, Mitzi Adams, and Anthony DeStefano (mitzi.adams at nasa.gov)

Get ready for NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which will be soliciting proposals in January 2023.  The SBIR program seeks to transform scientific discovery into products and services through innovations that have the potential for infusion into NASA programs and missions, the potential for commercialization into NASA relevant commercial markets, and that have a societal benefit.  

Specifically, the Space Weather Research to Operations to Research Technology Development and Commercial Applications subtopic (S14.01) will broaden NASA's impact in this area by nurturing small businesses that are forming a national space-weather applications, commercial-business sector as part of NASA’s response to the National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan.  Continued work under this subtopic is important to assure the protection of human and technological assets in space and on the ground, and to ensure that NASA’s exploration activities continue unabated, to improve life on Earth.  Successful space-weather projects will aim to improve one or more of the following priority focus areas: 
•	forecasting technologies, 
•	techniques and applications,
•	commercial and decision-making applications, 
•	advanced data-driven discovery techniques, and 
•	instrumentation. 

There will be additional 2023 SBIR subtopics of interest to the Heliophysics community that will include enabling technologies for In Situ Particles and Fields and Remote-Sensing instruments (S16.3); these include more specifically: in-situ instruments such as ion and neutral mass spectrometers, wind and drift meters, thermal plasma, energetic particles, DC and wave electric and magnetic fields.  Remote sensing instruments include solar and geospace FUV/EUV and X-ray imagers and radio-wave electromagnetic sounders of ionospheric and magnetospheric plasmas. These technologies must be capable of withstanding space radiation levels, survival and operational temperatures, and launch stresses.

The SBIR program has several phases with various levels of support.  Phase I awards up to $125,000 are for six months.  Phase II awards up to $750,000 for prototype development are for 24 months.  Phase III, intended for infusion and commercialization of the product, must seek non-SBIR funding, which could include NASA/SMD.  Direct questions to Jim Spann (james.f.spann at nasa.gov), Mitzi Adams (mitzi.adams at nasa.gov), or Anthony DeStefano (anthony.m.destefano at nasa.gov) or see  https://sbir.nasa.gov/.
