NSF is the National Science Foundation. An NSF SBIR Phase i (NSF SBIR phase 1) can be $225,000 for 6 to 12 months of work. An NSF SBIR Phase ii or NSF STTR Phase ii grant is typically for $750,000 for up to 24 months of work. SBIR grants and STTR grants provide early-stage pre-seed funding for startups.
Although some agencies use a "contract" model and other agencies (including NSF) use a "grant" model, these are R&D grants - startup funding (startup grants) that are non-dilutive seed funding and even pre-seed funding to support early stage research and development. There are few startup grant programs for for-profit companies, but SBIR and STTR provide almost $3 billion in startup funding each year.
