Additional Information on Eligibility

Each applicant must qualify as a SBC for R/R&D purposes, as defined in Section 1.5 of this NOFO, at the time of the award and at any other time set forth in the SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.701- 121.705. Each awardee, at the time of the award (but not at the time of the application), must submit a certification (See Appendix B) stating that it meets the size, ownership, and other requirements of the SBIR Program and at any other time set forth in SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.701-705 in order to qualify for the award. In addition, the primary employment of the principal investigator (PI) must be with the SBC at the time of the award and during the conduct of the proposed project. Primary employment means that at least 51% of the PI's time is spent in the employ of the SBC. Primary employment with a SBC precludes full-time employment with another organization. Further, an SBC may only replace the principal investigator on a SBIR Phase II award if the NOAA Grants Officer provides prior written approval. Requests for a waiver to the requirement must be submitted in writing at the time of application submission. Only rare and unique circumstances will be considered for an exemption. The NOAA Grants Officer, in consultation with the SBIR Program Manager, must approve each exemption and its terms in writing. For Phase II, a minimum of one half of the research and/or analytical effort must be performed by the awardee. The total cost for all consultant fees, facility leases, usage fees, and other subcontract/sub-award or purchase agreements may not exceed one-half of the total award. Applicants (and any affiliated individuals) may not participate in the selection of any topic. Additionally, they may not participate in the review of proposals. All associated entities to applicants to this NOFO (including Guest Researchers, Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) partners and others working with 6 NOAA) may only submit a proposal if they: ● Had no role in developing or reviewing the topic; ● Have not been the recipient of any information on the topic not available in the NOFO or by other public means; and ● Have not received any assistance from DOC in preparing the proposal for this specific NOFO (including any 'informal' reviews) prior to submission. NOAA may not enter into, or continue, an existing CRADA with an awardee under this program. The R/R&D work must be performed by the SBC and its subcontractors in the United States. “United States” means the fifty states, the territories and possessions of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. Requests for a waiver to the requirement that all work be performed in the United States must be submitted in writing at the time of application submission. Only rare and unique circumstances will be considered for an exemption. The NOAA Grants Officer, in consultation with the SBIR Program Manager, must approve each exemption and its terms in writing. If a waiver is requested, it must be submitted in writing, with the application package. The waiver request must include specific information about where work performed or supplies received from outside the United States are being considered and a detailed rationale explaining steps taken to locate potential United States sources; if any United States sources were located and any potential concerns for use of those sources; and any potential cost differences between United States sources and foreign sources, if applicable. Waivers are only approved in rare and unique circumstances. Each applicant will be required to provide certain information via www.sbir.gov as well as other information required by the SBIR Policy Directive (see Appendices V-VI), found at: https://www.sbir.gov/sites/default/files/SBA_SBIR_STTR_POLICY_DIRECTI
