NASA is inviting small businesses to apply for the Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP) as part of its SBIR/STTR initiative for the FY25 award cycle. This program, recently reauthorized for three additional years, aims to facilitate the commercialization of technologies funded by SBIR/STTR by combining NASA or external investment with additional program funds. Eligible candidates must have previously completed specific Phase II awards and secured external investors not affiliated with their business. These investors must match the funding for technology maturation that aligns with NASA's missions. Successful applicants could receive between $500,000 and $2.5 million in matching funds. Applications will be accepted from November 12, 2024, to January 15, 2025. Interested firms can find more details and submission guidelines on NASA's SBIR/STTR website and must use the ProSAMS system for their applications. This initiative underscores NASA's commitment to fostering innovation and transitioning research into commercially viable technologies for broader applications.
