Notes de l'éditeur
- Julie Collins Georgia Tech/ATDC Primary responsibility help entrepreneurs with applications Also Director of Georgia FAST - provide commercialization and market analytics to minority/women owned and non-metro Atlanta based biz applying to SBIR SBIR/STTR consultant for 6 years primarily looking at NIH and NSF grants. Dozens of NIH grants including reviewer comments.
- SBIR stands for Small Business Innovation Research, a grant and contract program that was started by the Small Business Administration in 1982 to fund innovative research and development from our nations small businesses. The program was so successful that in 1992, the Small Business Technology Transfer program was founded to form collaborative efforts between small businesses and research institutions, including federally funded research centers. The program is a set-aside program requiring 11 different agencies to set aside 2.5% of their extramural funding budget (funds appropriated for research outside that particular agency) for the SBIR Program. 5 of these 11 agencies also participate in the STTR Program, which is a mandated 0.3% set-aside
- This totals $2.3 Billion in funding per year, making the SBIR/STTR program the largest pool of seed capital available to fund research and development of innovative technologies. This $$, sometimes referred to as “free government” money, is non-equity diluting. Meaning the government will not receive an equity share in your company, nor will it profit from any inventions that are created by these funds. You, and the other inventors, will be the exclusive patent holders.
- There are 11 agencies that participate in the SBIR Program -but only 5 that participate in both the SBIR and STTR programs. They fund projects ranging from sensors to vaccines, and bioremediation solutions to educational tools. The common thread - you must be performing Research and Development. The DoD, DHHS and NSF have the largest funds. Each agency runs their own program, and while they all subscribe to the same basic rules, each has it ’s own set of nuances including when their solicitations are released, and how they expect you to account for the use of the funds.
- The Program is written as a 2 phased program. Phase I is $150,000 for six to 12 months of work. It is to be used to prove the feasibility of making a technical solution into a commercial product. Phase II is for up to $1M and a 2 to 3 year duration. This phase is for further product development and, in some cases, must result in a working prototype. The National Institutes of Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, does fund projects in excess of these standard award amounts, as the cost of biomedical research is exorbitant. Other agencies will make awards for less than this prescribed maximum. You must have a Phase I award to apply for Phase II – you cannot go directly into Phase II - In fact some agencies only allow Phase II applications by invitation only. In addition, some agencies have follow on Phase II b programs to help companies bring their product to the market place and cross the “valley of death”. Many of these programs require matching funds from an investor or partner.
- Talk about when to use SBIR/STTR funds Long time until they are awarded Think proactively
