Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
DoW Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are designed to provide small, high-tech businesses opportunities to propose innovative ideas and solutions in response to technological challenges posed by the DoW Components that will address existing and emerging national security threats and to develop new military capabilities. The SBIR and STTR programs are critical pathways for the Department to tap the innovation of America’s small business community and research institutions to support development of cutting-edge technologies that will increase the readiness, modernization and lethality of the Joint Force.

The goals of the OSW Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program is to stimulate a partnership of ideas between small business concerns (SBCs) and research institutions through DoW funded research or research and development (R/R&D). By providing awards to SBCs or cooperative R/R&D efforts with research institutions, DoW supports innovation and economic growth to generate decisive and sustained U.S. military advantages. This program supports high priority projects within the DoW Components, their missions, and the Warfighter.

What project 503 buys
Under the authority defined in 15 U.S.C. 638 (y), Commercialization Readiness (CR) Program (CRP), OSW established the “OSD Transitions SBIR/STTR Technology (OTST) Program”. The CR Program is a dynamic, results-oriented response to the Congressional challenge to the DoW in 2006 to deliver more advanced SBIR/STTR technologies faster to our warfighters. The OTST program is an interim technology maturity phase (Phase II) inserted into the SBIR/STTR development process and is structured to be a technology pull to meet requirements that address potential and emerging requirements.
