SBIR Program Objectives

• Small Businesses Are
• Among the most cost-effective performers of
  Research Development (RD)
• Capable of developing RD results into new
  products
• Small businesses are major sources of important
  innovations in the nation, yet a vast majority of
  federally-funded RD is conducted by
• Large businesses, Universities, and Government
  laboratories
• Federal agencies with gt 100M in extramural RD
  are required to participate in the program
• RD set aside 2.5 of this money for SBIR

3
Program Information Funding

• Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000,
  Public Law 106-554, enacted 12/21/00.
  Re-authorization through 2008
• NASA SBIR/STTR website http//sbir.nasa.gov
• Agencies reserve 2.5 percent of RD budgets for
  funding agreements with small businesses for RD
  during the first two phases of the three phase
  process

2002 Budget 115.1 Million
4
Program Information Funding

• Three-phase program
• Phase I - Determination of scientific and
  technical merit and feasibility of the innovation
  (NASA funding 70K for six months)
• Phase II - Continuation of development of those
  innovations shown to be feasible in Phase I (NASA
  funding 600K for two years)
• Phase III - Activities capitalized by non-SBIR
  sources of funding for the pursuit of private or
  government sales

What Does NASA Want In SBIR?

• High-risk, high-payoff Research and Development
• Innovations responsive to the subtopic to which
  submitted
• Innovations, which can contribute to the NASA
  mission, and, also have potential commercial
  applications

STTR Topics

• Research Topics are based on the Agencys Centers
  of Excellence
• Centers of Excellence represent a focused,
  Agency-wide leadership responsibility in a
  specific area of technology, and are charged to
  be preeminent within NASA
• Topics alternate between Centers
