Department of War SBIR and STTR funding is topic-bound: a company can only propose against a published topic that matches its technology, inside that topic's open window. Proposals are submitted in DSIP, and the full BAA or CSO plus the component instructions set the award ceilings, page limits and page-by-page requirements.
