Event Description

Funding for Early-stage Technologies and Innovations leading to Commercialization

SBIR has proven to be one of the most successful federal programs for technological advancement in U.S. history, delivering more than 60,000 patents and hundreds of valuable innovations in agriculture, defense, energy, health sciences, homeland security, space, transportation, and other fields. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) programs SBIR is a federal program that funds small businesses to develop high-risk innovations of critical need.

The U.S. SBIR is a three-phased program with awards usually up to $100,000 for developing a proof of concept in Phase I, and typically up to $750,000 for development work (often resulting in a prototype) in Phase II. Companies develop and market the SBIR product, attract outside investment and further commercialize in Phase III. Eleven federal agencies participate in the SBIR program: U.S. Departments of Agriculture; Commerce; Defense; Education; Energy; Health and Human Services; Homeland Security; Transportation; Environmental Protection Agency; NASA; and the National Science Foundation.

STTR is modeled on the SBIR program and stimulates technology transfer through cooperative research between small businesses and non-profit research institutions. UH researchers are encouraged to partner with small businesses to compete under the STTR program.
