Small Business Innovation Research Gateway

The Small Business Innovation Research is designed to increase the success of smaller businesses in obtaining contracts from Government bodies to conduct research and development. The SBIR aims:

  • to provide opportunities to those existing small firms whose businesses are based upon providing R&D by increasing the size of the market
  • to encourage other smaller businesses to increase their R&D capabilities and capacity
  • to exploit the new market opportunities
  • to create opportunities for starting new technology-based or knowledge-based businesses

biomedical Advanced Technology Program

"ATP projects focus on the technology needs of American industry, not those of government. Research priorities for the ATP are set by industry, based on their understanding of the marketplace and research opportunities. For-profit companies conceive, propose, co-fund, and execute ATP projects and programs in partnerships with academia, independent research organizations and federal labs."

"The Advanced Technology Program (ATP) bridges the gap between the research lab and the market place, stimulating prosperity through innovation. Through partnerships with the private sector, ATP’s early stage investment is accelerating the development of innovative technologies that promise significant commercial payoffs and widespread benefits for the nation. As part of the highly regarded National Institute of Standards and Technology, the ATP is changing the way industry approaches R&D, providing a mechanism for industry to extend its technological reach and push out the envelope of what can be attempted."
