Summary
- The purpose of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant mechanism is to stimulate technological innovation through facilitating private-sector commercialization of research advances.
- Small business entities do not need to relinquish equity in exchange for SBIR/STTR funding.
- A key difference between SBIR and STTR grants is that the STTR requires university participation, which is optional for the SBIR.
- SBIR/STTR applications can be submitted in conjunction with more traditional R01/R21 grant applications and are ideal for exploring the commercialization potential of research results.
