An Assessment of the Small Business Technology Transfer Program
- Share to:
The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, partnered with the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, provides innovation awards that expand joint venture opportunities for small businesses and nonprofit research institutions. Created in 1982 through the Small Business Innovation Development Act,1 SBIR remains the nation’s largest innovation program for small businesses. SBIR offers competitive awards to support the development and commercialization of innovative technologies by small private-sector businesses. At the same time, SBIR provides government agencies with technical and scientific solutions that address their different missions. Created in 1992 by the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992, STTR seeks to bridge the gap between basic science and commercialization of resulting innovations.2 Under the STTR program, a small business receiving an award must collaborate formally with a research institution (RI).
