> \-- DoD FY-07.2 SBIR Solicitation Technical Questions
>
> The Department of Defense (DoD) released their FY-07.2 SBIR
> Solicitation on their website
> ([www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/sbir/](http://www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/sbir/)) on
> April 16, 2007. Interested parties have had the opportunity to contact
> topic authors with technical questions related to the solicitation.
> This is just a reminder, that this direct communication between
> proposers and topic authors will not be allowed starting May 14, 2007,
> when DoD begins accepting proposals for this solicitation. After May
> 14^th^, users may still submit written questions regarding technical
> information related to improving the understanding of a particular
> topic\'s requirements through the SBIR Interactive Topic Information
> System (SITIS) at
> [www.dodsbir.net/sitis](http://www.dodsbir.net/sitis).
>
> \-- DOC NIST SBIR Update
>
> The Department of Commerce (DOC) National Institute of Standards and
> Technology (NIST) did not release an SBIR Solicitation in FY07.
> However, they recently posted the following notice in their SBIR
> website (<http://patapsco.nist.gov/ts_sbir/>):
>
> "In FY08, two NIST SBIR Solicitations will be opened concurrently.
>
> One will follow the traditional SBIR model that includes subtopics
> specifically describing technologies that support the NIST mission and
> have commercial potential.
>
> The other Solicitation will include subtopics describing research
> needed to extend a technology described by a specific NIST patent. The
> SBIR contracts will be a strong technology transfer vehicle for NIST
> patented technologies and will contain the necessary legal terms and
> conditions to assure a successful transition.
>
> Both Solicitations are anticipated to open by early November 2007 with
> a proposal due date in late January 2008. Awards resulting from these
> Solicitations will be made as fixed-price contracts."
>
> The FY06 SBIR solicitation is still available on the website to view
> for information purposes, as well as abstracts of Phase 1 and Phase 2
> award winners. The website also includes a link for past NIST SBIR
> awardees to submit a story for the NIST SBIR Success Stories Program.
>
> For more information regarding the DOC NIST SBIR program, call (301)

> the funding to grow and expand technology R&D, as well as, how to
> structure deals and team with other strategic partners. Learn the
> critical steps to commercialize technologies that ultimately lead to
> lucrative exit strategies. A brief video introduction is available at
