HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Interested small businesses should identify the capability that best aligns with their project needs, then register through the program's application portal. Applicants will provide a brief description of their project and company purpose, and rank their top three voucher selections in order of priority.

The scope of work for each capability is intentionally broad and is developed collaboratively between INL and the selected recipient. Projects that align with the general scope of any listed capability may be eligible for support.
