Join the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a NOAA Technology Partnerships Office presentation! What's it about? SBIR, commercialization, small business!
The Small Business and Innovation Research (SBIR) program has three phases. Phase I - idea generation, Phase II - prototype development, and Phase III - Commercialization. Phase III is defined as an award that derives from, extends, or completes prior SBIR effort and is funded with non-SBIR funds. The objective of Phase III, where appropriate, is for the small business to pursue commercialization objectives resulting from the Phase I/II R/R&D activities.
The SBIR/STTR programs do not fund Phase III. At some Federal agencies, Phase III may involve follow-on non-SBIR/STTR funded R&D or production contracts for products, processes, or services intended for use by the U.S. government. Attendees at this seminar will gain a complete understanding of what a Phase III award is, how to identify it, what is the acquisition process, and how it can benefit NOAA.
