Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program
SBIR 25.4 Annual Program Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
The Defense Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program’s objectives include stimulating technological innovation, strengthening the role of small business to meet DoD research and development (R&D) needs, fostering and encouraging minority and disadvantaged persons’ participation in technological innovation, and increasing the commercial application of DoD-supported research or R&D results. DoD invites proposing SBCs with the capability to conduct R&D and commercialize the results in any of the defense-related topic areas described in this SBIR Program BAA to submit proposals.
DoD Services and Components may elect to release topics under this BAA once a month throughout fiscal year 2025. New research topics will pre-release on the first Wednesday of each month, based on the schedule posted on https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/submissions/login.
Proposers are encouraged to thoroughly review the DoD Program BAA and register for the DSIP Listserv to remain apprised of important programmatic and contractual changes.
