ccclxxiSBIR agencies must protect from disclosure and non-governmental use all SBIR technical data developed from work performed under an SBIR funding agreement for a period of not less than four years from delivery of the last deliverable under that agreement (either Phase I, Phase II, or Federally-funded SBIR Phase III) unless, subject to paragraph (b) (3) of this section, the agency obtains permission to disclose such SBIR technical data from the awardee or SBIR applicant. Agencies are released from obligation to protect SBIR data upon expiration of the protection period except that any such data that is also protected and referenced under a subsequent SBIR award must remain protected through the protection period of that subsequent SBIR award. For example, if a Phase III award is issued within or after the Phase II data rights protection period and the Phase III award refers to and protects data developed and protected under the Phase II award, then that data must continue to be protected through the Phase III protection period. Agencies have discretion to adopt a protection period longer than four years. The Government retains a royalty-free license for Government use of any technical data delivered under an SBIR award, whether patented or not. This section does not apply to program evaluation. 27

ccclxxiiSBIR technical data rights apply to all SBIR awards, including subcontracts to such awards, that fall within the statutory definition of Phase I, II, or III of the SBIR Program, as described in section 4 of the SBIR Policy Directive. The scope and extent of the SBIR technical data rights applicable to Federally-funded Phase III awards is identical to the SBIR data rights applicable to Phases I and II SBIR awards.

dDevelopment of a Mobile Application for Homeless Youth and Providers 131

diActivity: Develop and input content for youth, particularly content relevant to homeless youth, including critical HIV/STI/pregnancy prevention information and nearby health care and social services; and for providers including up-to-date information on providing care to youth, both homeless and LGBT youth; and integrating public health into practice and making referrals etc. 132

diiActivity: Explore ways to link Module I and II so that resources can remain up to date and service providers can best serve youth. Develop a way for each population (youth or providers) to see only their respective module when using the app. 132

diiiActivity: Consider piloting the initial versions of the app with members of the target audience in a nearby area to gage their experience with services, as well as their impressions of the app, to improve the design. 132

divDeliverable (pilot mobile app): Develop a proof of concept mobile app for homeless youth, homeless LGBT youth and providers for use on a variety of mobile devices and platforms (smart phones; tablets; computers; gaming systems etc.) Equip the mobile app with the ability for youth to track, record and rate use of services and their locations to help healthcare settings reach homeless youth with reminders, and/or keep track of them in the system, and improve their service offerings. Consider a youth “check-in” feature to gauge mobility patterns to better provide services/mobile services. 132
