The NSF SBIR/STTR programs provide non-dilutive grant funding for the development of deep technologies based on discoveries in fundamental science and engineering for societal and economic impacts. NSF funds ideas in nearly all technical areas. Since 2018, OST has worked with TEDCO, SBDC, and SBA to lead successful SBIR/STTR Proposal Labs, with 59 awards out of the 130 companies that submitted.
