Matching Grants for SBIR/STTR Phase II
The federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs represent the largest source of early-stage, high-risk technology financing in the United States. Eleven federal agencies participate in this program which provides funding for early stage research and development projects leading to commercialization of resulting products or services. The programs are designed to benefit entrepreneurs and small businesses — while increasing the competitiveness of the U.S. economy — by funding the development of innovative products and services.
Phase II awards assist entrepreneurs to continue efforts initiated in Phase I. The IRISBF provides matching grants of up to $100,000 to assist recipients of SBIR/STTR Phase II awards to commercialize their innovations.
