The NSF SBIR/STTR program aims to bridge the gap between scientific excellence and market impact. By providing funding to startups and small businesses, the NSF seeks to bolster the national economy and foster innovation. This support encourages the development of novel products, services, and solutions in the private sector, with the potential for widespread influence.
Additionally, the program emphasizes the role of small businesses in meeting federal research and development needs, promoting the commercial application of federally supported research outcomes, and fostering workforce growth, particularly among socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses.
