SBIR/Challenge Admin
Abstract
(U) Public law mandating the SBIR/STTR Programs prohibits the use of the SBIR/STTR budget to fund administrative costs of the program, therefore program element (PE) 0605790D8Z is the only source of funds for the coordination, administration and execution of the Department's SBIR/STTR Programs. In addition to funding costs for program administration, coordination and execution, PE 0605790D8Z funds essential elements of the SBIR/STTR Program that are required by law including: (1) Coordinate and execute the administrative portions of the DoD SBIR/STTR Programs including the development of technical topics, preparation SBIR/STTR R&D solicitations, and receipt of proposal responses; (2) Maintain and modify automated processes across the entire SBIR/STTR lifecycle including the development and maintenance of information systems and software required for the measurement, evaluation, and effective management of the Department's SBIR/STTR Programs; (3) Implement an aggressive outreach program including the execution of two conferences and outreach to small technology companies, potential investors in such companies, SDBs WOSBs HBCU/MIs and others, to facilitate participation in the SBIR/STTR Programs; (4) Coordinate oversight, collect results, track execution and provide reporting of Phase II technology transition in support of the DoD SBIR Commercialization Pilot and Commercialization Readiness Program (CPP/CRP); and (5) Prepare all reports mandated by law and policy.
