If you have a federal Phase I SBIR or STTR award in hand and your Phase II proposal is already submitted, you are in the exact window DTIP was built for. This eligibility page helps you confirm fit before you invest time in the full application. Start with the checker below - it asks the same gates the Council on Development Finance uses. Then read on to understand the documentation burden, the mandatory Regional Manager step, and the timing traps that cost applicants weeks. I will be direct: DTIP is not a light lift, but for the right Delaware tech company, it is a genuine bridge. Your situation matters more than a generic checklist, so use the tool first, then decide whether to keep reading.

What the checker evaluates

The eligibility tool walks through the atomic gates from the statute and fact sheet. Phase I award confirmed. Phase II proposal submitted. Headcount under 100 including subsidiaries. Delaware principal place of business. Current state license and Certificate of Good Standing. Three years of financials. And the five-grant lifetime limit per rolling 10-year window[1]. If you clear those, you are in the pool the CDF considers. That does not guarantee an award - the vote is discretionary - but it means your application will reach the board.

The step most applicants miss

Before you upload anything to the OSB portal, you must consult your county's Regional Business Manager. This is not optional. The RBM vets your project against the Delaware Economic Benefit criteria before it ever reaches the Council[2]. I recommend reaching out at least two weeks before your target CDF meeting. Bring a one-page project summary, your Phase II submission confirmation, and a draft of your Economic Benefit narrative. The RBM is your advocate at the board table, not your auditor. Want help shaping that narrative before the RBM call? Our Assessment service reviews your draft against known CDF priorities so you enter that conversation with confidence. Your Grant Assessment fee is non-refundable, but the base assessment fee can be deducted once toward the same grant's Full Application when you choose the optional checkbox at checkout.
