Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

The STTR program is similar to SBIR but places a greater emphasis on collaboration between small businesses and non-profit research institutions (such as universities or federal labs). It encourages partnerships to facilitate the transfer of technology and knowledge between the small business sector and academic or research institutions.

  • Phase I supports feasibility studies, similar to SBIR.

  • Phase II supports further research and product development with the goal of commercialization.

  • Phase III involves the transition of the technology to the marketplace, with private sector investment typically driving commercialization.
