NASA SBIR/STTR Program Contacts

For questions about the NASA SBIR/STTR solicitations, the proposal preparation and electronic submission process, and other program related areas, please contact the NASA SBIR/STTR Program Support Office at agency-sbir@mail.nasa.gov.
NASA SBIR/STTR Program Contacts
The primary SBIR/STTR contacts at each NASA center and mission directorate are listed below. Those interested in submitting proposals may communicate with NASA personnel to learn about the needs and objectives of mission programs except when a solicitation is active and when proposals are under review. During those times, NASA personnel will not be able to engage in communications relating to the solicitations, proposals, or the evaluation results for such proposals; any communication should occur only through the SBIR/STTR Contracting Officer and the SBIR/STTR Program Manager. Communications regarding other technical work or other points of mutual concern not related to the open solicitations or proposals are never restricted and are encouraged throughout the year!
Not sure who to contact? Start by looking at the most recent solicitations: https://sbir.nasa.gov/solicitations. Chapter 9 of each solicitation, Research Topics for SBIR/STTR, contains the technologies—grouped into Focus Areas—where NASA is seeking solutions.- SBIR | Each Focus Area aligns with a Mission Directorate; reach out to the Mission Directorate Contact below if you want to talk generally about that Focus Area. Each Subtopic within a Focus Area aligns with a Lead Center and Participating Center(s); contact the applicable Center Technology Transition Lead (CTTL) if you want to learn more about that Subtopic.
