Academia

Our partnerships with leading universities and academic institutions are not optional – they are a strategic imperative. The talent, research, and technical ingenuity developed on our campuses are exactly what will allow us to field next-generation capabilities.

We cannot afford to let revolutionary research sit on university shelves. Through the STTR program, we are deliberatively aligning academic innovation with the entrepreneurial speed of small businesses.

If we are to maintain our military advantage and preserve the peace of the world in this pivotal decade, our science & technology enterprise must answer the call again.

Our nation’s universities are home to some of the most groundbreaking scientific and technological research in the world. The STTR program is designed to unleash that potential.

STTR’s most important role is to bridge the gap between basic research and development and commercialization of resulting innovations.
