Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR)
Abstract
The goals of the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are to stimulate technological innovation, increase private sector commercialization of federal research and development (R&D), increase small business participation in federally funded R&D, and foster participation by minority and disadvantaged firms in technological innovation. The SBIR and STTR programs are critical pathways for the Department to tap the innovation of America’s small business community and research institutions to support development of cutting-edge technologies that will increase the readiness, modernization and lethality of the Joint Force.
