The DoD issued its 2010A STTR pre-release on January 25, 2010, which will open to receive proposals on February 23, 2010, and close March 24, 2010 at 6:00am EST. The solicitation is inclusive of 45 topics from the Navy's SYSCOMS.
Between January 25 and February 22, 2009, you may talk directly with the Topic Authors to ask technical questions about the topics. Their names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses are listed within each solicitation topic. For reasons of competitive fairness, direct communication between proposers and topic authors is not allowed starting February 23, when DoD begins accepting proposals for this solicitation.
However, proposers may still submit written questions about solicitation topics through the SBIR/STTR Interactive Topic Information System (SITIS), in which the questioner and respondent remain anonymous and all questions and answers are posted electronically for general viewing until the solicitation closes.
All proposers are advised to monitor SITIS during the solicitation period for questions and answers, and other significant information, relevant to the SBIR/STTR topic under which they are proposing.
Complete solicitation instructions and forms are available on the DoD SBIR/STTR web site at www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/sbir/solicitations/sttr10A, and a DoD wide topic search engine is available at www.dodsbir.net/Topics/
Upcoming Navy SBIR/STTR solicitations
The Navy SBIR/STTR solicitations are released as part of the DoD SBIR/STTR solicitation process. On average, the Navy and DoD release 3 SBIR solicitations per fiscal year. The Navy STTR program generally participates in only 1 solicitation per year, normally released in January.
DoD SBIR/STTR/CPP Programs Extended Through September 30, 2010
As part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, the DoD's SBIR, STTR and CPP programs have been extended "as is" through September 30, 2010. This extension is exclusive to the DoD's SBIR programs, and assures continuation for the remainder of this fiscal year.
The remaining ten (non-DoD) agency SBIR programs have been extended "as is" through January 31, 2010.
However, congress is continuing to work on overall reauthorization and modernization of all SBIR programs. When Congress passes a full SBIR reauthorization bill, it will most likely include changes to all SBIR programs but will not shorten the DoD's expiration date of September 30, 2010.

Navy Launches New SBIR Data Search Tool
The Navy SBIR is putting the finishing touches on its new generation of search tool to help small businesses, prime contractors and other SBIR participants to locate valuable SBIR and STTR data.
The Navy SBIR Search application is built on top of the Autonomy IDOL search engine which utilizes unique pattern-recognition technologies to draw out concepts from data. By looking for the idea or concept defined by given words, and not necessarily the words themselves, conceptual search retrieves the most relevant content.
A basic conceptual query allows you to submit natural language text or a piece of content for which Navy SBIR Search returns documents that are conceptually similar to your query text. Other advanced features built into the system include user defined "Agents" and an "Expertise Locator."
Agents are stored queries that allow you to quickly find information you require on a regular basis. Your agents will keep you up-to-date on relevant issues, always producing the latest available information. When you create agents, You can set up your agent to mail you its results once a day to alert you of the latest agent query results.
The Expertise Locator allows you to locate other users that have similar interests in areas that are of interest to you. Enter query terms in the Expertise Locator text box and submit your query. The locator tool will then look for other users that have set up agents that contain concepts that match your query terms. If the tool finds other users with matching agents then the results are listed.

Navy SBIR Issues Defense Contractors SBIR/STTR
Partnering Manual
September 17, 2008
Both DoD and industry are challenged to deliver mature, quality technologies-gies on time and at reasonable cost. Risk factors are daunting. Although SBIR/STTR can help mitigate technical risk, and large/small business
partnerships can achieve risk reduction by increasing the maturity SBIR/STTR technologies, practice shows that such partnerships rarely result in actual insertion of the SBIR/STTR technology. All parties agree that
such partnerships are a work-in-progress and better processes are needed to increase success.
The Navy's new Defense Contractors SBIR/STTR Partnering Manual seeks to facilitate small/large business partnering, reduce technology transition risks, and improve timely and cost-effective technology
insertions in Navy and DoD programs. The manual, based on industry business models, includes a suite of tools to help strengthen internal SBIR/STTR efforts, advanced information about the transition process, and best
practices strategy for building effective SBIR/STTR partnerships.
