IMPORTANT UPDATE: Effective 1 October 2025, SBIR/STTR program authorization has expired. New activity is paused; ongoing awards remain valid. Awardees are encouraged to contact their TPOCs and contracting officers with questions regarding active awards.
The STTR program is similar to the SBIR program; however, the STTR program requires one qualifying research partner (e.g. university, non-profit, or Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC)) to perform 30 – 60% of the award work.
