By funding partnerships between small pharmaceutical companies and nonprofit research institutions, the Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program gives drugs with potential their best commercial chance.

This grant-making program supports research that has commercialization potential. Research funded by this mechanism must be a cooperative project between small business and a research institution. Review criteria for support emphasize innovation and the potential for commercialization.
