One SBIR lineage

Stage	Recipient	Amount	Date
SBIR Phase I	Meridian Sensors Inc	$150,000	2023-04
SBIR Phase II	Meridian Sensors Inc	$1,100,000	2024-09
SBIR Phase III	Meridian Sensors Inc	$8,400,000	2026-10
Open request	SAM.gov notice	Follow-on work	Due Dec 1

Each award links to the one before it, from a Phase I study to a Phase III contract, and a matching SAM.gov request shows what may come next.

What it does

Requests to awards

SAM.gov requests link to the USASpending awards that answer them.

SBIR lineage

Phase I, Phase II and Phase III awards chain together for each small business.

Recipients resolved

Each recipient joins the S101 hierarchy, so awards roll up to the parent company.

The contract

An award names its recipient, program, amount and lineage, with the SAM.gov or USASpending record, license and read time behind it.

Full glossary

SBIR: Small Business Innovation Research: US federal funding for small firms in phases, from Phase I feasibility awards to Phase III follow-on contracts.
Change cursor: A position in a feed's change stream. A reader sends the last cursor it saw and gets every change after it, in order.
Read time: When Teleon fetched a record from its source. It sits beside the source's own dates, so readers can judge how fresh each record is.
Record license: The terms that came with a record from its source, stored on the record itself so every reader sees them.
