Technology Transfer
Definition
Click icon to add pictureFrom Wikipedia,
Technology transfer is the process of sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing and facilities among governments and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services.

SBIR/STTR 2.0 and
Reauthorization
Click icon to add pictureSBIR 2.0’s goal is to make the program more entrepreneur-friendly to ensure
entrepreneurs have the support they need to do what they do best -
innovate and create jobs. SBIR 2.0 leverages best
practices among the 11 agencies who
participate in SBIR and strengthens
performance measurements to ensure effective
operation government wide.
SBIR – 2.0: Innovative Improvements Supporting Innovative Entrepreneurs
Setting the target time-frame between selection of a proposal and award to an applicant at less than 60 days for all agencies.
Building a "one-stop-shop" web portal with all solicitation topics available and searchable (www.sbir.gov)
Evaluating opportunities to clarify and simplify data rights for the Federal Government and entrepreneurs.
SBIR/STTR Program Update:
What’s New!

information about the SBIR 2.0
initiative visit: http://indus.sba.gov/sbir2/index.html
Outside of SBIR 2.0, on March 30, 2010 the SBA increased
the maximum size of SBIR awards allowed
in Phase 1 from $100,000 to
$150,000 and raised the limit on Phase 2
awards from $750,000 to $1
million.
SBIR – 2.0: Innovative Improvements Supporting Innovative Entrepreneurs
Expanding bridge financing programs - focus on Phase II matching programs. Currently, matching funds from just 4 SBIR agencies contribute over $40M per year in SBIR monies, leading to over $100M per year in matching funds from other investment sources in Phase II companies.
Expanding use of the SBIR program to facilitate technology transfer from federal labs.
Encouraging agencies to issue joint solicitations to work together to streamline topics for applicants and address areas of national priorities.
SBIR/STTR Program Update:
What’s New!
Click icon to add pictureLegislation
reauthorizing and updating the
SBIR/STTR programs stalled in Congress
in 2010, mainly over the issue of whether
small companies that are majority-owned by VC firms
should be eligible for SBIR/STTR awards.
H.R. 366, has been passed and is a short bill that is a continuing resolution (CR) to keep SBIR/STTR/CPP (and some other SBA programs) running "as is" for an additional 4 months, ending May 31, 2011.
SBIR/STTR Program Update:
Reauthorization!
Click icon to add pictureS. 4053 SBIR/STTR
Reauthorization Act of 2010 was
not passed in December 2010 by
the Democratic controlled House Small Business
Committee. With the recent change in
committee leadership under the
Republican controlled House it is
anticipated that when the Senate reintroduces the
measure (S. TBD) it may pass in the
House.
Major new provisions that were included under S. 4053:Would reauthorize the SBIR/STTR programs for 8 years.
Would increase the SBIR set aside from the current 2.5% to 3.5% over 10 years (.1% per year).
Would increase the STTR set aside from the current .3% to .4% for 2012-13; .5% for 2014-15; and .6% for 2016 and thereafter.
Elimination of Phase 2 invitations.
SBIR/STTR Program Update:
Reauthorization!
Click icon to add pictureThese two provisions would
only likely be used under very rare
circumstances and most likely
associated with joint topic
solicitations.
Major new provisions that were included under S. 4053 (continued):Would allow for an agency to award either a Phase 2 SBIR or STTR award to a project that was awarded a Phase 1 under the other program.
Would allow one agency to award a Phase 2 SBIR/STTR award to another agency’s Phase 1 SBIR/STTR award.
SBIR/STTR Program Update:
Reauthorization!
Click icon to add pictureThis VC provision represents
compromise language the
Senate included to try and get the
House to agree to the legislation
which it did not.
Major new provisions that were included under S. 4053 (continued):Would allow NIH, DOE and NSF to award not more than 25 percent of the funds allocated for the SBIR program of the Federal agency to small business concerns that are owned in majority part by multiple venture capital operating companies through competitive, merit-based procedures that are open to all eligible small business concerns; and 15% by all other agencies.
