The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is pre-soliciting companies interested in bidding on $100,000 grants under the Agency’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Under the program, the U.S. EPA will award about 12 firm-fixed-price contracts of $100,000 each under during FY 2018 to small businesses that propose winning research proposals.
The U.S. EPA has identified six topic areas of priority for feasibility-related research or R&D efforts including removal of PFOA/PFOS from drinking water, removal of PFOA/PFOS from wastewater, and remediation of PFAS-contaminated soil and sediment.
The anticipated release date of the solicitation is October 17, 2017, with proposals likely due December 7, 2017. The U.S. EPA will grant the awards June 30, 2018, each with a 6-month period of performance. For more information, see http://www.epa.gov/sbir/sbir-funding-opportunities.
