The DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program seeks the private sector's input for potential topic areas for future SBIR solicitations. Industry and subject matter experts are invited to submit the following information electronically via the "Recommend a topic" link: (1) your first and last name, your organization, your email address and your phone number; and (2) topic information including the following: title of topic, applicable technology area; and keywords. In addition, please include a statement (500 characters maximum) describing why DHS should consider your potential topic area for a future SBIR solicitation.

Your recommended topic will be considered if the research area is relevant to DHS and its mission, there is a critical agency requirement, and the research is unique. Other programmatic priorities will also be considered. Please note that submitting a topic recommendation is not the same as submitting a proposal. Potential topic recommendation submittees will not be contacted unless further information is needed. Submitters of potential topics should monitor future solicitations.

PLEASE NOTE : All information provided must be non-proprietary and unclassified.
