How can I facilitate transfer of SBIR/STTR developed technical innovations?
Search for previously developed technologies that may meet your need by visiting NASA’s SBIR/STTR Abstract/Archives Gateway. The information located in the abstracts will provide you with the name of the small business or research institution that developed the technology and provide contact information. There are several ways to participate in investing in or commercializing a technology developed in the NASA SBIR/STTR program. NASA invites those interested in furthering the development of a specific technology for their own needs to investigate the potential for a Phase 3 contract by providing non-SBIR funds to the small business concern to further develop the technology. NASA is able to accelerate its post-Phase 2 procurement process by recognizing that the federal competition-in-contracting requirements have been met by the Phase 1 and 2 competitions. Private-sector investment, in various forms, is also a vehicle for the Phase 3 process.
