NIST Identifies 2005 SBIR Topics
by Mildred Holley, Technology Programs Manager
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a pre-solicitation notice on October 12 that identifies the research topics that will be included in its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) solicitation for Phase I proposals. NIST funds Phase I projects at amounts up to $75,000. November 3 is the expected date of release for this solicitation. Proposals will be due no later than January 26, 2006.
The research topics in the 2006 solicitation are:
1. Development of a Large-Area Solar Simulator using Light Emitting Diodes
2. Development and Manufacture of High-Efficiency, Low-Dark-Count Detectors for IR Photon Counting
3. Gigabit/second Random Number Generators
4. Applying AI Tools and Techniques to the Real-Time Control of Intelligent Systems
5. Imaging Variable Kinetic Energy (0.1 to 8 KeV) Electron Analyzer
6. Vibration Detection for the Suppression of PM Noise
7. Multiple Contact Nano-probes for Electrical and Optical characterization
8. Spatial Light Modulators for Programmable Spectral Projectors
9. Commercially-Available Electrically Substituted Bolometer
10. Emergency Beacon for First Responder Radios
11. High Performance NIR Array Detectors for Advanced Sensors
12. Broadly-Tunable CW Terahertz Single-Port Source
13. Emergency-Vehicle Electrical System Conducted-Interference Test System
14. Reference Flat Pulse Generator
15. 40 Gb/sec Bitstream Generator
16. RFID-Based Supply Chain Optimization and Simulation
17. Ideal Liquid Optical Particle Sensor
18. Wide-Bandgap Photodiodes for Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation
19. High-Speed Non-Contact Thermography
20. DC Substitution Microwave Power Detectors.
