Growth Re$ourcesAvailable Private Sector Public Sector Academic Research Market Penetration Innovation/ Translational Research Product Dev Basic Research Initial Commercialization Mature Technology Maturity Level All Roles lead to Rome(Private Sector Handoff) • NSF – Discovery FOR Innovation • IIP – Discovery TO Innovation NSF SBIR/STTR

  3. NSF Mission To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense

  4. Primary Objective NSF SBIR/STTR Program To increase the incentive and opportunity for small firms to undertake cutting-edge, high risk, high quality scientific, engineering, or science/engineering education research that would have a high potential economic payoff if the research is successful.

  6. The SBIR/STTR Program Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 Congress designated 4 major goals • Stimulate technological innovation in the private sector • Use small business to meet federal R&D needs • Foster and encourage participation by minorities and disadvantaged persons in technological innovation • Increase private-sector commercialization innovations derived from federal R&D

  8. Program Information • NSF is not the final customer • NSF does not buy product/process or software or IP • NSF wants grantees to successfully commercialize high-tech research • Investment $ beyond SBIR is needed

  9. Funding Criteria • Must be high-payback innovations involving high risk and commercial potential • Demonstrate Strategic Partnerships with Research Collaborators, Customers and Equity Investors • We do NOT fund • Evolutionary optimization of existing products and processes or modifications to broaden the scope of an existing product, process or application • Analytical or “market” studies of technologies

  10. Doing Business with NSF • NSF is not the Final Customer • NSF is not buying your product/process or software or your intellectual property • NSF wants to see you successfully commercializeyour high-tech research • You need investment $ beyond NSF SBIR
