Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

Abstract

The goals of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program 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. Leveraging the innovation of small business concerns is an important contributor to the development of the cutting edge technologies that will generate decisive and sustained U.S. military advantages by increasing the readiness, modernization and lethality of the Joint Force. This program supports high priority projects within the DoD Components, their missions, and the Warfighter. The goals of the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program are to stimulate a partnership of ideas between small business concerns (SBCs) and research institutions through DoD funded research or research and development (R/R&D). By providing awards to SBCs or cooperative R/R&D efforts with research institutions, the DoD supports innovation and economic growth to generate decisive and sustained U.S. military advantages. This program supports high priority projects within the DoD Components, their missions, and the Warfighter.
