SBIR/Challenge Admin
Abstract
(U) Program element (PE) 0605790D8Z is the only source of funds for the coordination, administration and execution of the Department's SBIR/STTR Programs. The DoD Office of Small Business Programs is tasked with providing Departmental SBIR/STTR policy guidance, oversight and implementation and therefore requires program element (PE) 0605790D8Z to fund these administrative activities. 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 of 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 National conferences and outreach to small technology companies, potential investors in such companies, SDBs, WOSBs, Institutions of Higher Learning, underrepresented states, 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 the DoD SBIR Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP); and (5) Prepare all reports mandated by law and policy.
