Applications for the Small Business Innovation & Research (SBIR) program are currently on hold as part of the sector-wide Comprehensive Expenditure Review being coordinated by NSW Treasury.
The Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer is unable to progress existing applications while this review continues. The program is one of several that will remain on hold until the government makes decisions for the 2023-24 Budget.
We will communicate further as soon as any updates for the SBIR program are confirmed.
