Green Technology Alliance (GTA) Founder and COO Asked to Evaluate Environmental Technologies for the National Science Foundations SBIR Phase I Grant Program.

Green Technology Alliance (GTA) founder and COO, Heath P. Naquin, returns again to serve on the National Science Foundation Phase 1 SBIR panel on Environmental Technologies. With increased commitment and support of emerging technologies and a growing emphasis of the administration on environmental technologies across the green, clean and sustainability spectrum the NSF has again requested that Heath Naquin return as a commercial reviewer for the SBIR Phase 1 program. Mr. Naquin will help evaluate environmental technologies from across the United States with a focus on commercial potential and return. Eligible companies will receive up to $150,000 in Phase 1 funding from the NSF.

The panel will draw commercialization and subject matter experts from across the country to review proposals for technical accuracy and economic viability. Approved proposals will be awarded research and limited operational funds targeted at helping small businesses develop cutting edge, innovative technologies with a focus on commercialization. Commercial Review is an important part of the SBIR process ensuring that tax dollars are wisely invested in technologies that have significant potential for commercial viability.

We are proud to support the efforts of the SBIR program and in particular are excited to be involved in evaluation of technologies in our core area– green, clean and sustainability. Of all the programs we support, the NSF SBIR Grant program is one of the most important for our collective future. — Michelle Naquin, Green Technology Alliance, Chief Executive Officer

Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Program

The Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Program at the NSF is designed to support innovation among our nation’s small businesses (less than 500 employees). The NSF SBIR/STTR Program supports innovation in seven broad topic areas: Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Processes, Biotechnology, Chemical-Based Technologies, Electronics, Environmental Technology, Emerging Opportunities, and Information Technology.

The SBIR/STTR Program at NSF is divided into three phases: Phase I grantees receive up to $100,000 for a 6-month (SBIR) or 12-month (STTR) feasibility or proof of concept project. Phase II support is available for successful Phase I performers up to $500,000 for a 24-month concept refinement/ prototype development.

To be eligible for SBIR consideration a company must qualify as a small business (according to the federal government) and must submit a detailed application to the NSF during one of three submission windows.
