The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program are separate federal initiatives that provide research and development funding to qualified small businesses in order to stimulate innovation and development in high technology areas. Awards are based on small business qualifications, degree of innovation, technical merit and future market potential. Each year 11 federal agencies participate in the SBIR program and five take part in STTR, awarding over $2 billion in funding for small-business R&D.
