The PI is required to devote a considerable part of their time to the project. “Considerable” means a minimum average of 3 hours per week for the duration of the project for both SBIR and STTR Phase I projects. For example, a 9-month project, lasting 39 weeks, would require a commitment of 117 hours. Applicants must state the duration of the project in weeks, if the project is to be completed in less than 9 months, in order to make it clear that this requirement is fully met. Before a grant is awarded, the PI will be required to sign a statement certifying adherence to these requirements.
