Mission/Interest - National Innovation Summit and Showcase
U.S. Air Force SBIR/STTR Program • • • • • • • • • Website/POCs – www.afsbirs)r.com (“SBIR/STTR Points of Contact” link at top of page) Mission/Interest – SBIR/STTR contracts are an important tool for the Air Force’s discovery, development and integraIon of affordable warfighIng technologies for our air, space and cyberspace force. This program fosters innovaIon and cuMng-‐edge research by small businesses, with the goal of transiIoning results into criIcal Air Force programs and plaOorms. Uniqueness – Centralized execuIon of program by Air Force SBIR/STTR Program Office (in the Air Force Research Laboratory). Operates as central point for focusing on small businesses to fund innovaIve soluIons. About 50 percent of Air Force-‐sponsored topics come from Program ExecuIve Offices (PEOs), providing key user inputs into our solicitaIon processes. Budget – Annual SBIR/STTR budget is currently ~$305M Topics – Average 160 SBIR and 30 STTR topics per year (receive average of 2,500 proposals/year) Awards (Amt and Dollar Range) – Average 380 Phase I contracts at $150K and 160 Phase II contracts at $750K (Air Force limit for iniIal Phase IIs). Contract vs Grant – Contract SolicitaIons (Open/Close) – ParIcipates only in SBIR.1 and STTR.A (Jan/Mar) CommercializaIon – our SBIR/STTR CommercializaIon Readiness Program (CRP) directly links PEOs to AFRL experts; this linkage helps generate topics focused on criIcal needs and results in the opImal use of SBIR/STTR funds. CRP’s transiIon agents also help match current prime/ supply-‐chain contractors with small businesses working in areas relevant to PEO needs.
