Small Business Innovation Research/Small Bus Tech Transfer
Abstract
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) implements 15 U.S.C Section 638 to maximize the creative innovative, entrepreneurial spirit of small businesses to solve technological problems. 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 United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). This program supports high priority projects within the USSOCOM Components, their missions, and the Warfighter. The goal of the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program is to stimulate a partnership of ideas between small business concerns (SBCs) and research institutions through the USSOCOM funded research or research and development (R/R&D). By providing awards to SBCs or cooperative R/R&D efforts with research institutions, the USSOCOM supports innovation and economic growth to generate decisive and sustained U.S. military advantages. This program supports high priority projects within the USSOCOM Components, their missions, and the Warfighter.
