The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the release of its 2019-2020 Small Business Innovation Research (#SBIR) Phase I Solicitation to develop innovative technologies that protect human health and the environment.

EPA is calling for small businesses to apply for Phase I awards up to $100,000 to demonstrate proof of concept in the following topic areas: clean and safe water, air quality, land, homeland security, sustainable materials management, and safer chemicals.
