A PI who anticipates participating as a subrecipient in an SBIR or STTR proposal must submit a Notification of Intent to Submit an SBIR/STTR Grant Application with a Small Business Concern (SBC) form at least 30-days prior to the Sponsor’s deadline. This e-form is found at https://go.uab.edu/notice-intent-sbir-sttr-sbc.
It is also important that the PI notify their financial officer (Megan Lu for investigators in ECE and MSE; Eboni Austin for investigators in CCEE and ME, Caleb Morgan for investigators in BME or Tonya Thomas for investigators in EITD) when the Notification of Intent is completed. This will allow us to help you collect and submit the required information by OSP’s submission due date.
Also, please be aware of the several OSP requirements unique to SBIR/STTR submissions:
- SBIR / STTR Extramural Support Checklist (must be completed and signed)
- Responsible Personnel List (RPL)
- Letter of Intent to Establish Subaward to UAB
- Detailed Statement of Work
- SF424 Detailed Budget for UAB for all periods
- Budget Justification for UAB
- Biosketches for all UAB participants
- Copy of full grant application, including budget (or current working draft, if not final at time of OSP submission)
- UAB Facilities by External Entities (For SBIR & STTR) (completed and signed)
- Licensing Permission from HIIE (if using UAB-owned IP)
"If the SBC is using UAB owned intellectual property, or working with a UAB PI, the SBC should contact the HIIE before submitting its grant proposal. In general, the SBC must first negotiate a letter of intent, option or license prior to the submission of the SBIR/STTR application, and should have an agreement about how to handle the creation of new IP that could arise from the UAB PI research activities." listed here:
