Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer

Major update for our startup and small business community! The DOE SBIR/STTR programs are now managed by the DOE Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) to streamline program administration and support technology commercialization. **What is SBIR and STTR?** The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are competitive non-dilutive funding programs that fund [eligible small businesses](https://science.osti.gov/Leaving-Office-of-Science?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.sbir.gov%2fabout&external=true) to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the goal of product commercialization. Projects must have the potential for commercialization and be responsive to DOE mission areas. DOE SBIR/STTR provides hundreds of awards annually to innovators, spanning research areas that support the DOE mission in: - Energy Production & Use - Fundamental Energy Science - Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation - Environmental Management
