EPA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program

New Phase I Solicitation Schedule

EPA's SBIR program provides financial support to help small science- and technology-based firms develop new environmental technologies and ready them for commercialization. The program targets research to prevent pollution, reduce water and air pollution, manage solid and hazardous wastes, and improve environmental monitoring—in each case, addressing priorities that stem from the Agency's Strategic Plan. In FY 2002, EPA will issue three (3) Phase I Solicitations. There will be two special solicitations—Mobile Sources and Stormwater—and the regular SBIR Solicitation. The special solicitations are designed to meet the pressing needs of EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality and EPA Region I. The opening and closing dates are different from the regular solicitation and Phase I contracts will be awarded for $100,000 over 10 months. The regular solicitation will cover all other EPA research topics and it will NOT include mobile sources or stormwater topics. The FY 2002 Phase I Solicitation Schedule is as follows:

Control And Monitoring Of Mobile Source Emissions
(Subtopics: Digital Valve Technology for Engines, Heavy Duty Diesel Engine After-Treatment for NOx and Particulate Matter, On-Vehicle Diesel Fuel Sulfur Control, On-Vehicle Real-Time Monitoring, Air Toxics Monitoring and Low Level Particulate Mass Measurement.)

Phase I Opens: January 31, 2002

Closing Date: March 21, 2002

This solicitation is now closed.

Technologies For Stormwater, Csos And Arsenic In Drinking Water
(Subtopics: Control of Stormwater Runoff and Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), In-Situ Treatment of Urban Sediments, Rehabilitation of Urban Infrastructure and Treatment of Arsenic in Drinking Water.)

Phase I Opens: January 31, 2002

Closing Date: March 21, 2002

This solicitation is now closed.

Regular Phase I Solicitation (Excludes Mobile Sources and Stormwater/Arsenic Subtopics)
(Subtopics: Nanomaterials and Clean Technology, Control of Air Pollution, Drinking Water and Municipal/Industrial Wastewater Treatment, Solid Waste Recycling, Hazardous Waste Management and Site Remediation, and Monitoring and Measurement Technologies.)

Phase I Opens: March 28, 2002

Closing Date: May 23, 2002

Last year's solicitation describes the SBIR Program, application requirements, and all research topics. If you need a fax copy or if you have any questions, call the EPA HELPLINE at: (800) 490-9194. Last year's solicitation also is available at the EPA Web Site. The three new SBIR solicitations will be available as they open by calling the HELPLINE or by visiting the EPA Web Site.
