In the US at least there is always SBIR(Small Business Innovation Research)funding. Most of it is through the DOD, but other federal agencies includimg the NSF participate as well. The NSF grants are pretty open-ended. Come up with an idea in their broad categories and submit a proposal. it helps greatly to have a PhD on your team as the initial Principal Investgator, but at least for the DOD awards is certainly not strictly required.
- thejteam 14y agoAnd now i read the article and they mentioned SBIR. i have never heard of a 21 million SBIR award though. i always though phase 2awards topped out at about 2million.
