This Solicitation is Closed. The Board is no longer

In accordance with the procedures set forth in NC General Statutes 143B-437.82, The North Carolina Board of Science and Technology approved final Guidelines covering the One North Carolina Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I Matching Funds Program in November 2005. The North Carolina Board of Science and Technology, through its Executive Director, administers this Program in the manner set forth in the
Guidelines. The Guidelines describe the structure and administration of the Program. The purpose of the One North Carolina Matching Funds Program is to foster job creation and economic development in North Carolina by increasing the competitive position of North Carolina small businesses in attracting SBIR and STTR grant funding, and provide an incentive for Phase I award-winning firms to participate in the more substantial Phase II program. The goals of the Program are to: - Increase the amount of Federal research dollars received by North Carolina small businesses;
- Help North Carolina companies bridge the funding gap period between the final Phase I payment and the first Phase II payment in the Federal SBIR/STTR Program;
- Increase the intensity of the research conducted under Phase I, making North Carolina small businesses more competitive in the competition for Phase II funds; and
- Encourage the establishment and growth of high-quality, advanced technology firms in the State of North Carolina.
