Due to the ongoing recovery efforts related to Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, the NSF has decided to grant an extension to the upcoming Phase I SBIR and STTR deadlines for small businesses based in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The new deadline for small businesses located in those territories will be December 18th, at 5 pm local time.  Anyone with questions or requests related to this extension should contact Ben Schrag bschrag@nsf.gov or (703) 292-8323.
