About the US DOT SBIR Program
The Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 (PL 97-219), reauthorizing legislation (PUB.L. 99-443) and PUB.L. 102-564 (Small Business Research and Development Act), seeks to encourage the initiative of the private sector and to use small business as effectively as possible in meeting Federal research and development objectives. To comply with statutory obligations of the Act, DOT has established a US DOT SBIR Program which conforms to guidelines and regulations provided by the Small Business Administration. Annually, small businesses are solicited to submit innovative research proposals that address high priority requirements of the Department and have potential for commercialization.
The following downloadable presentation is a brief overview of the SBIR Program.
