What Is SBIR and STTR?
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs offer the federal government’s largest research and development (R&D) grant and contracts opportunities targeted to the small business community. With more then $2 billion available annually, it is arguably the best source of risk capital available to help fund the development of promising new technologies. The SBIR program can also serve as a pathway to equity financing.
