SBIR/STTR Program Vision and Mission VISION • Empower small businesses to deliver technological innovation that contributes to NASA’s missions, provides societal benefit, and grows the US economy MISSION • Create opportunities through SBIR/STTR awards to leverage small business knowledge and technology development for maximum impact and contribution 4
Program Background • NASA’s SBIR and STTR programs have awarded over $3.3B to research‐intensive American small businesses to date. • Engineers and scientists from over 12,000 Firms in all 50 States, DC and Puerto Rico have participated • On average each year 1,700 NASA scientists and engineers support the program performing technical reviews 5
The SBIR & STTR Programs Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) A set‐aside program for small business to engage in Federal R&D – with potential for commercialization For FY17, 3.2% of Federal agencies Extramural R&D budgets greater than $100M per year Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) A sister set‐aside program to facilitate cooperative R&D between small business concerns and U.S. research institutions – with potential for commercialization For FY17, 0.4% of the extramural research budget for all agencies with a budget greater than $1B per year 6

2017 Solicitation ‐ Noteworthy Changes • I‐Corps In partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA is offering the I‐Corps program to educate selected teams on how to translate technologies from the laboratory into the market place. I‐Corps Step 2 Proposal Submission Period – April 20‐27, 2017 http://sbir.nasa.gov/content/I‐Corps • CCRPP Under NASA’s new Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP), NASA will match the investments with SBIR/STTR program funds between $125K‐$2M for each CCRPP award. The technology proposed for advancement toward commercialization should have a strong relevance to NASA’s missions, as well as a strong potential use by NASA and/or markets outside of NASA beyond the CCRPP investment. CCRPP Applications Submissions are due March 31, 2017 http://sbir.gsfc.nasa.gov/content/post‐phase‐ii‐initiatives 10
