MATURING TECHNOLOGY: NASA SELECTS 85 SMALL BUSINESS RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT
WASHINGTON -- NASA has selected 85 small business proposals to enter into negotiations for Phase II contract awards through the agency's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
The selected projects have a total value of approximately $63 million. NASA will award the contracts to 79 small high technology firms in 27 states. These competitive awards-based programs encourage U.S. small businesses to engage in federal research, development and commercialization. The programs also enable businesses to explore technological potential, while providing the incentive to profit from new commercial products and services.
$63 million divided up amongst 79 firms would be $797,000 each if divided equally. Might be more (or less) for ODIS.
You would think that this would justify a news release from the company shortly?
