Grants Policy

NIH has a number of grant policies that are relevant to NIH SBIR and STTR grantees. Acceptance of an award from NIH obligates the recipient to be aware of and comply with the terms and conditions of the award, including foreign disclosure requirements.

Before drawing down any award funds, please review any potential tax implications with a tax/accounting professional. 

Updated Policy on SBIR/STTR Organization Eligibility in Cases of Legal Action that Changes Small Business Status:  updates policy on SBIR/STTR organizational eligibility in cases of legal action, such as a merger, acquisition, or successor-in-interest, that changes the small business concern (SBC) organizational status so that the organization is no longer eligible for the SBIR/STTR program.
