Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL NIDILRR BISB 0026
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2021-ACL-NIDILRR-BISB-0026) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically under the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits within the science, technology, and broader research and development funding category (CFDA 93.433) and is designed to support small businesses that are developing innovative technologies with clear public benefit.
At its core, this opportunity is part of the broader Federal SBIR program, which aims to spur private-sector technological innovation and strengthen the role of small businesses in meeting federal research and research-and-development needs. NIDILRRs SBIR emphasis narrows that mission to disability-related impact: the program is meant to increase the commercial application of R and D outcomes and improve the return on public investment by moving promising innovations closer to real-world use. In practical terms, projects funded through NIDILRR SBIR are expected to lead toward products, tools, or services that can be brought to market and that meaningfully improve life for individuals with disabilities.
A key requirement is that every funded project must directly address the needs of individuals with disabilities and should be oriented toward measurable improvements in one or more of these areas: health and function, community living, or employment outcomes. That focus shapes what kinds of technologies and solutions are appropriate, favoring work that has a clear pathway to adoption and use by people with disabilities, service systems, employers, clinicians, caregivers, or community-based organizations. The emphasis on commercialization signals that this is not just basic research; it is development work intended to translate prior results into something deployable and sustainable beyond the grant period.
This is a Phase II opportunity, meaning it is specifically intended to build on earlier Phase I SBIR work. Phase II projects expand and deepen the development started in Phase I, using Phase I results as the proof-of-concept foundation. Eligibility is limited to small businesses that are Phase I grantees, and applicants must be able to show that their Phase I approach appears sufficiently promising based on what they achieved during that initial period. In other words, Phase II funding is meant for teams that already demonstrated early feasibility and are now ready to pursue more advanced development steps, such as refining prototypes, conducting more rigorous testing, improving performance and usability, strengthening plans for manufacturing or deployment, and positioning the innovation for commercialization.
The opportunity was created on March 30, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 29, 2021. The award ceiling listed for individual grants is $287,500, and the agency anticipated making about 4 awards under this announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the only eligible applicant type specified is small businesses, consistent with the SBIR program structure and goals.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL NIDILRR BISB 0026
