| This week we will cover the last round of DoD SBIR Topics that are scheduled to be released on Wednesday. This is always a good checkpoint to see what areas of AI that DoD organizations are interested in.
The last time we covered SBIR topics, there were several on the call that were new to this approach of funding research. If you are also in this boat – here’s a good resource from SBIR.gov that covers the basics: https://www.sbir.gov/about
You can think of it as seed funding, with the initial round being somewhere around $100k for a 6 month effort, followed by a potential $2M project for 2 years. Each agency and topic may have a different funding allotment, so be sure and check the details of any topic that you are interested in.
Our normal approach is to use the topic search provided here – https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/ but this time we will also see what happens if we ask a LLM to analyze the topics for us. |
