How the Government Funds Emerging Technology How Federal Agencies Fund Emerging Technology Two Main Research & Development Programs –SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) –STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer Program)

How the Government Funds Emerging Technology Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program Federal SBIR Program 10 Federal Agencies Approximately $1.1 Billion in funds available Multiple Solicitation closing dates

How the Government Funds Emerging Technology SBIR Basics Proposals evaluated on soundness, technical merit, innovation, and commercial potential Reauthorized through October 2008 Projects are funded in Phases –Phase I (6 months, $60,000-$100,000, feasibility) –Phase II (2 years, $500,000-$750,000, proof of principle) –Phase III (non-SBIR funds to develop into product)

How the Government Funds Emerging Technology SBIRBasics SBIR Basics 1. Must be small business people or less 2. 51% U.S. Owned 3. Principal Investigator 51% employed with small business 4. Each agency publishes SBIR solicitation, listing research topics and their specific process 5. Commercial Potential is VERY Important Consideration

How the Government Funds Emerging Technology Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Cooperative R&D Small Business and a University, FFRDC or Non- Profit Reauthorized to FY2009 Five federal agencies participate –(DoD, HHS, NASA, DOE, NSF) FY2002 funding- $65 Million

How the Government Funds Emerging Technology STTR Program Mandatory partnership between a small business and a research institution (min. 40% small business, min. 30% research institution) Must have written agreement allocating intellectual property rights.

How the Government Funds Emerging Technology New Program - FastTrack Fast Track provides a higher chance of SBIR/STTR award, and continuous funding, to small companies that can attract outside investors. For the investors, Fast Track offers an opportunity to obtain a match of between $1 and $4 in DoD SBIR/STTR funds for every $1 the investor puts in.
