NASA SBIR/STTR has joined the SBIR Partnering Platform. This public, multi-agency platform facilitates partnering between Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applicants/awardees and all those who can contribute to their success (investors, subject matter experts, research institutes, service providers, industry stakeholders, etc.) in their respective ecosystems.

Instructions on how to register with the platform and begin making those partnerships are available on the platform. Explore the SBIR Partnering Platform Here Read recent web features, newsletters, and stories about the impact our awardees are having on NASA and the country.

Learn More about News and Success Stories We are one piece of the SBIR/STTR pie America’s Seed Fund is coordinated by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), which provides resources and support to the NASA SBIR/STTR program and 10 other participating Federal agencies.

The SBA tracks SBIR/STTR awards across the government, provides helpful program information, hosts frequent virtual and in-person events, and offers connections to others in the innovation ecosystem who may be able to help you if you need support outside of the NASA SBIR/STTR program.
