Description
The Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP) was reauthorized under the Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act in 2026. The CCRPP accelerates the transition of SBIR and STTR funded technologies to commercialization through a combination of additional SBIR/STTR program investment and NASA or non-NASA entity sponsor investment. Eligible small business firms may submit a CCRPP application for the 2026 award cycle in response to this call. If selected for award, NASA will match the investments with SBIR/STTR program funds between $500,000 and $2.5 million for each CCRPP award. Applications must be submitted via ProSAMS. The goal of Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP) is commercialization impact. CCRPP awards are not designed for the incremental changes of earlier phases of development. Rather, these heavyweight technologies are running an accelerated path into transitioning to NASA missions and applications as well as commercial markets. Title 15 of the United States Code 638, section uu, [15 U.S.C. 638 (uu)], indicates CCRPP funds awarded to an eligible entity may only be used for research and development activities that build on eligible entity's Phase II program and ensure the research funded under such Phase II is rapidly progressing towards commercialization.
