Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACL NIDILRR BISA 0019

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, Phase I grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program run 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). Its core aim is to support early-stage research and development led by small businesses, with an emphasis on turning innovative ideas into practical, commercially relevant products or solutions. The broader SBIR program is designed to spark private-sector technological innovation, strengthen the ability of small businesses to address federal research and R&D needs, and ensure that taxpayer-supported research produces tangible economic and social benefits.

Within that larger mission, NIDILRRs SBIR focus is centered on disability and rehabilitation outcomes. The program seeks to improve the lives of people with disabilities by funding small businesses to develop R&D products that can make real-world differences in accessibility, independent living, rehabilitation, and related areas. Another major objective is to increase the commercial use of research findings and development products that stem from NIDILRR-supported work, meaning applicants are generally expected to be thinking not only about technical feasibility but also about pathways to market adoption, practical implementation, and broader impact.

This Phase I opportunity is structured as a short, proof-of-concept style award. NIDILRR plans to make about 10 grants under this announcement, and each grant will support a 6-month project period with a matching 6-month budget period. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000 per grant. Phase I SBIR awards typically emphasize establishing the scientific and technical merit of a concept and demonstrating feasibility, often laying the groundwork for later-stage development and commercialization efforts.

Eligibility is limited to small businesses, consistent with SBIR requirements. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2022 ACL NIDILRR BISA 0019, and it is listed under CFDA 93.433 in the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The opportunity was created on November 19, 2021, with an original application closing date of January 18, 2022. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.

In practical terms, a strong application under this program would usually align an innovative technical approach with a clear disability-related need, show a credible plan to demonstrate feasibility within six months, and explain how the proposed R&D could translate into a product or solution with real potential for use and commercialization.
