Program DescriptionsProgram Descriptions
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)Set-aside program for small business concerns to engage in federal R&D -- with potential for commercialization
Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Set-aside program to facilitate cooperative R&D between small business concerns and U.S. research institutions --with potential for commercialization
2.50% of Extramural R&D Budget
0.30% of Extramural R&D Budget
Congressional Objectives
Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982
• 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

SBIR Technologies on Mars Exploration Rovers
Yardney Technical Products of Pawtucket, Connecticutdeveloped lithium ion batterieswith specific energy of >100Wh/kg and energy density of 240 Wh/l and long cycle life. Subsequently, they won a large Air Force/NASA contract to develop batteries for space applications. They are supplying the batteries for the 2003 Mars Rovers.
Maxwell Technologies of San Diego, California fabricated and tested an ASCII chip with single event latch up protection technology. Innovation enables the use of commercial chip technology in space missions, providing higher performance at a lower cost. Supplying A to D converter for Mars 03 Rovers.
Starsys Research of Boulder, Coloradodeveloped several paraffin based heat switches that function autonomously. Heat switches control radiator for electronics package on Mars 2003 Rovers.
