Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program
Established by Congress in 1982 to provide increased opportunities for small businesses to participate in R&D, to increase employment and to improve U.S. competitiveness
The program's specific objectives are stimulate U.S. technological innovation use small businesses to meet federal R&D needs increase private-sector commercialization of innovations derived
from federal R&D foster and encourage participation by socially disadvantaged
businesses Legislation enacted in 2000 increased its emphasis on
pursuing commercial applications of SBIR project results Florida was #13 in SBIR dollars in 2004.

Funding Criteria
Must be High-payback Innovations involving High Risk Must have High Commercial Potential Demonstrate Strategic Partnerships with Research
Collaborators, Customers and Equity Investors The NSF SBIR/STTR program does NOT fund:
Evolutionary optimization of existing products and processes, modifications to broaden the scope of an existing product, process or application
Analytical or “market” studies of technologies Broad-scale “beta” testing of products or processes with no
innovative scientific component

Three Phases
Phase I (up to $100K for 6 months) Technical merit – Concept design Minimum of 66% to business
Phase II (up to $750K for 2 years) Proof of Concept / Product Prototype Minimum of 50% to business
Phase III (Investors) Commercialization

Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
Smaller pot of money than SBIRs Contracts to small business for cooperative
research and development with a non-profit research institution (RI), such as a university
Facilitates the transfer of technology developed by an RI through the entrepreneurship of a small business.
Small business and RI sign an agreement on how intellectual property will be shared
Florida was #8 in STTR dollars in 2004

Three Phases
Phase I (up to $150K for 12 months) Technical merit – Concept design Minimum of 40% to business; 30% to RI
Phase II (up to $750K for 2 years) Proof of Concept / Product Prototype Minimum of 50% to business
