The NASA SBIR and STTR programs fund 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
RI such as a university or a research laboratory with ties to an SBC, then NASA
encourages you to learn more about the SBIR and STTR programs as a potential
source of seed funding for the development of your innovations.
