Small Business Innovation Research
The SBIR Program
The purpose of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is to encourage small businesses to explore their technological innovation with the added potential for commercialization. The SBIR program is divided into 3 phases that are designed to stimulate technological innovation, meet Federal Research/Research and Development needs, encourage participation from disadvantaged businesses in technological innovation, and increase the commercialization of private sector innovations.
Three Phase Program
- Phase 1 is a feasibility study meant to establish the technical merit and commercial potential of an idea or technology that may provide a solution to the Department of the Navy.
- Phase 2 is a demonstration phase which continues the research efforts of Phase 1 and allows for prototypes to be built and tested.
- Phase 3 aims to transition a company’s SBIR effort into the commercialization of products, tools, or services that benefit the Navy acquisition community.
