Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBTTR) Funding
SBIR and STTR are two competitively-awarded, three-phase Federal Government programs, designed to stimulate technological innovation and provide opportunities for small business. These programs provide “seed funding” for early stage R&D projects that would otherwise not be funded by typical funding sources such as Venture Capital and Angel Investors due to the high risk and early-stage nature of the technology. More than $2.5B is available for small business concerns via these programs.
STEM SBIR and SBTTR through the National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation supports research and development of deep technologies – those that are based on discoveries in fundamental science and engineering. As we review applications, we consider your technology’s innovativeness, commercial potential, and possible societal impact.
