Submit Disbursement Request Form and Itemization Sheet

​If your pre-application is selected, you will be invited to submit a proposal for use of funds. Ensure you understand the acceptable use of funds for your award. There is a limited time in which funds will be available.

​Occurs on a rolling basis. The process should not exceed 4 weeks - unless revisions or clarifications are requested for your application. Awardees will be selected based on the acceptable use of funds and likelihood of progressing a successful SBIR/STTR application.

​Once expenses are incurred, submit the disbursement request form and itemization sheet for release of funds, to be reviewed and paid quarterly.
