concerns to engage in Federal R&D -- with potential for
commercialization. SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (STTR)

66 SBIR Purpose and Goals Small Business Innovation Development
Act of 1982 P.L. 106-554 (Signed 12/21/2000 extended program
through 09/30/2008) Stimulate technological innovation Use small
business to meet Federal R&D needs Foster and encourage
participation by minorities and disadvantaged persons in
technological innovation Increase private-sector commercialization
innovations derived from Federal R&D We in government must work
in partnership with small businesses to ensure that technologies
and processes are readily transferred to commercial applications.

Development Enhancement Act of 1992 P.L. 107-50 (Program
reauthorized through 09/30/2009) Stimulate and foster scientific
and technological innovation through cooperative research and
development between small business concerns and research
institutions Foster technology transfer between small business
concerns and research institutions SBIR/STTR Program Overview
