The mission of the
Office of Technology is to strengthen and expand the competitiveness of U.S.
small high technology research and development businesses in the federal
marketplace. The SBIR also provides assistance in achieving commercialization
of the results of both the federal research and development programs mandated
by the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 and the Small Business
Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992.
The mission of the
Office is carried out through legislated programs including:
· The Small Business
Innovation Research Program
· The Small Business
Technology Transfer Pilot Program
· The R, R & D
Goaling Program
· Advocacy of Federal
technology assistance
The Office of
Technology, formerly the Office of Innovation, Research and Technology, is
organized into two components: the Research Acquisition Policy Division and the
Innovation and Technology Division.
The Office of
Technology promotes federal small business high-technology programs to improve
the competitive capabilities of small research and development businesses with
particular emphasis on emerging and underserved small firms. It encourages
state of- the-market technology training, technology information exchange and
outreach on federal technology programs.
The Office of
Technology also encourages private and public resource support for the
commercialization of federal R & D efforts. It promotes outreach activities
to introduce women and minority-owned small business concerns to the advantages
of competing for federal R & D projects. For more information contact your
local SBA office.
