Abstract
FY 2021 SBIR/STTR funds were allocated in the following manner: 6% Legacy 36% Specific Topic 49% Open Topic 9% SFPP In FY 2021, the DAF introduced the SFPP. SFPP expands Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) initiative with the Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI) program. The TACFI program supports smaller scale, tactical level requirements (e.g., on-going operations at a Wing or Delta). The TACFI program allows for up to $1.7 million of SBIR/STTR funds per effort, and may also require individual effort approval from the Small Business Administration. Given smaller amounts of supplemental funding as compared to STRATFI, TACFI requires a lower matched funding ratio at 1:1 (1 Government non-SBIR to 1 SBIR OR 1 Private to 1 SBIR) matching. FY 2022 SBIR/STTR funds are intended to be allocated as follows: Legacy: 5% Specific Topic: 38% Open Topic: 38% SFPP: 19% FY 2023 SBIR/STTR funds are intended to be allocated as follows: Specific Topic: 40% Open Topic: 40% SFPP: 20% FY 2024 SBIR/STTR funds are intended to be allocated as follows: Specific Topic: 40% Open Topic: 40% SFPP: 20%
