We are actively tracking the progress of program authorization in Congress and, during the program authorization lapse, we will continue nominal operations, including the administration of ongoing contracts. We will resume the release of any new solicitations and the funding of new awards when the program is reauthorized.
This is an evolving situation, and we will update this page with additional information and resources as they become available. The NASA Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program is part of America’s Seed Fund, the nation’s largest source of early-stage non-dilutive funding for innovative technologies.
Through this program, entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses with less than 500 employees can receive funding and non-monetary support to build, mature, and commercialize their technologies, advancing NASA missions and helping solve important problems facing our country. Whether your destination is the Moon, Mars, or the marketplace, the NASA SBIR/STTR program wants to help get you there!
