ARO - Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program

Organization: Army Research Office

The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, like SBIR, is a government-wide program, mandated by the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992, PL102-564. STTR was established in FY94 as a three-year pilot program and has been reauthorized through Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. The 2012 STTR budget is determined by a set-aside of 0.3% of the Army's extramural R&D budget; this set aside percentage is due to increase by .05% every two years until FY17. STTR was established as a companion program to the SBIR program, and is executed in essentially the same manner; however, there are distinct differences.
