Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR):
Phase I (R41) and Phase II (R42) of the STTR Program seek to increase the commercialization of technology developed through Federal funding that will ultimately benefit the public. However, the unique feature of the STTR Program is the requirement for the small business concern applicant organization to partner and formally collaborate with research universities and other nonprofit research institutions. Important differences between the SBIR and STTR program requirements are explained on the NIH SBIR and STTR Web site. |
