The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are designed to support scientific excellence and technological innovation through the investment of federal research funds in critical American priorities to build a strong national economy. The NSF has released new funding opportunities for its Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs, increasing the maximum funding for SBIR/STTR Phase I awards to $305,000 and SBIR/STTR Phase II awards to $1,250,000 to further back development of the creative ideas coming from the nation's startups and small businesses. To get started, an entrepreneur must submit a three-page Project Pitch to the SBIR/STTR team. The Pitch will enable the NSF to determine whether your proposal is aligned with their review criteria and warrants the submission of a full proposal.

And...yes, link in the comments because algorithms.
