The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive programs that encourage small businesses to engage in Federal Research and Development with the potential for commercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program at 11 Federal agencies, SBIR and STTR’s provide billions in funding to support this early-stage R&D.
The MS-FAST Program, led by Innovate Mississippi, aims to increase the number of SBIR and STTR proposals from small businesses in Mississippi, leading to an increase in the number of SBIR/STTR awards. Mississippi companies making applications for SBIR and STTR grants may be eligible for up to $3,000 to cover grant application preparation and research. No matter what your experience level with SBIR/STTR programs, the webinars and On-Demand Bootcamp below are a valuable resource for you to learn more about how to take advantage of this great program.
