Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Program

The NASA SBIR/STTR program funds the research, development, and demonstration of innovative technologies that fulfill NASA needs as described in the annual solicitations and have significant potential for successful commercialization. If you are a small business concern (SBC) with 500 or fewer employees or a non-profit research institution (RI) such as a university or a research laboratory, we encourage you to learn more about the program as a potential source of seed funding for the development of your innovations. Your journey starts with a Phase I, but the ultimate goal is to reach Phase III where you get infused into a NASA mission and/or commercialize.
