SBIR-STTR program overview

Known as America’s Seed Fund, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) programs are the nation’s largest source of early-stage, high-risk funding for startups and small businesses. The grants are available to qualified U.S. for-profit small businesses. .

The programs provide funding for some of the best early stage innovation ideas that are still too high-risk for private investors and venture capitalists. SBIR/STTR grants support high-tech research and development that can strengthen the economy and help the United States stay at the forefront of high-tech innovation. A requirement of the STTR program is the partnership between the small business and nonprofit research institutions and universities, such as the Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ and the University of Βι¶ΉΣ³»­, Las Vegas. STTR’s most important role is to bridge the gap between the basic sciences and commercialization.
