Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Programs
Contents
Description
The mission of the NIBIB is to improve health by leading the development and application of emerging and breakthrough biomedical technologies based in the physical and engineering sciences. Congressional legislation mandates that the NIBIB “facilitate the transfer of technologies to medical applications.” In accordance with this mandate, the NIBIB supports the SBIR and STTR programs.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is a highly competitive three-phase award system which provides qualified small business concerns with opportunities to propose innovative ideas that meet the specific research and research and development needs of the Federal Government.
The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program is a highly competitive three-phase program that reserves a specific percentage of Federal research and development funding for award to small businesses in partnership with nonprofit research institutions to move ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace, to foster high-tech economic development and to address the technological needs of the Federal Government.
