What is SBIR / STTR?


Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) are highly competitive programs that encourage small businesses, such as start-ups through mid cap sized entities, to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the potential for commercialization.

SBIR and STTR enable small businesses and start-ups to explore their technological potential and provide the incentive to profit from its commercialization through non-dilutive capital awards.
