    Description

    NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration is offering an opportunity for small businesses to participate in the FY25 Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP) under its SBIR/STTR initiative. This program aims to facilitate the commercialization of technologies funded through prior SBIR/STTR Phase II awards by providing matching investments from external investors, with funding amounts ranging from $500,000 to $2.5 million. The CCRPP is crucial for accelerating the transition of innovative technologies to market, particularly those aligned with NASA's missions and potential commercial applications beyond NASA. Interested applicants must submit their proposals via NASA's Proposal Submissions and Awards Management System (ProSAMS) between November 12, 2024, and January 15, 2025, and can contact Kenneth E. Albright or Steven Brockway for further information.
