Missile Defense Agency SBIR and STTR Programs
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs issue solicitations once per year. MDA participates within the Department of Defense (DoD) .3 and .B solicitation, which is issued simultaneously in the August timeframe. MDA makes SBIR/STTR Phase I awards up to $100k and the nominal Phase II award amount is $1.0M. Previous SBIR and STTR topics, including the most recent SBIR 08.3 and STTR 08.B topics, are available on the DoD SBIR/STTR website.
The goal of the MDA SBIR/STTR Program is to prioritize projects at the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) level, address BMDS gaps or foster new BMDS capabilities and to increase award amounts on projects based upon increased relevance to the BMDS.
The MDA SBIR program also issues one Phase II Transition (P2T) solicitation per year. The purpose of the P2T program is to encourage the transition of SBIR projects into the BMDS. Only firms with active DoD SBIR Phase II contracts are eligible to participate in the P2T program. MDA SBIR Program is currently accepting applications for the Phase II Transition Program. Please click HERE for details. Applications are due by 9AM (EDT) on 22 April 2009.

5th Annual MDA SBIR/STTR Industry Day
The 2009 Missile Defense Agency Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Industry Day will be held in Long Beach, CA on August 11-12, 2009. Industry Day will focus on enhancing the SBIR and STTR process for MDA and the Small Business Community.
Small Businesses will have the opportunity to sign up for one-on-one sessions with key MDA technical representatives and prime DoD contractors. This will be a great opportunity during the DoD pre-solicitation period (July 27, 2009). For reasons of competitive fairness, direct communication between potential bidders and topic authors will not be allowed after August 24th - the last day of the SBIR and STTR pre-solicitation period. Additional details on Industry Day and registration information will be available in the coming months.

The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, like SBIR, is a government-wide program, mandated by the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992, PL102-564. STTR was established in FY94 as a three-year pilot program and has been reauthorized to the year 2009. The STTR budget is determined by a set-aside of 0.3% (vs. 2.5% for the SBIR program) of MDA’s extramural R&D budget. STTR was established as a companion program to the SBIR program, and is executed in essentially the same manner; however, there are distinct differences.
While STTR has the same objectives as SBIR regarding the involvement of small businesses in federal R&D and the commercialization of their innovative technologies, the STTR program requires participation by universities, federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs), and other non-profit research institutions.
Each STTR proposal must be submitted by a team, which includes a small business (as the prime contractor for contracting purposes) and at least one research institution. The project must be divided such that the small business performs at least 40% of the work and the research institution(s) performs at least 30% of the work. The remainder of the work may be performed by either party or a third party.
