DARPA SBIR Programs
GrantActiveThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funds breakthrough defense and national security technologies through its SBIR/STTR programs and broader research solicitations open to small businesses. Phase I SBIR awards provide approximately $250K over 6 months for feasibility studies, while Phase II awards offer up to $1.8M over 24-36 months for continued R&D. DARPA also offers the Enhancement Program, providing up to $500K in matching funds for Phase II awardees who secure non-SBIR co-funding. DARPAConnect provides free mentoring, coaching, and proposal support to help small businesses navigate the application process.
