In this brief video, Stacy Chin explains the allowable small business fee or profit that can be included in NSF SBIR grant budgets. For Phase I proposals, applicants may request up to 7% of the total direct and indirect costs as a fee. For Phase II proposals, the allowable fee increases to up to 10% of the total direct and indirect costs. The speaker emphasizes that these percentages represent the maximum permissible amounts for the small business fee or profit component of the budget.
