CFDA 11.044: NIST Small Business Innovation Research Program

Objectives

The SBIR Program’s main goals and objectives are to strengthen the role of innovative small business concerns (SBCs) in Federally-funded research or research and development (R/R&D) including research in support of a standard (prestandardization research). Specific program goals are to: (1) stimulate technological innovation; (2) use small business to meet Federal R/R&D needs; (3) track participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses and by women-owned small businesses in technological innovation; and (4) increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R/R&D, thereby increasing competition, productivity, and economic growth.
