About SBIR and STTR Programs
The U.S. Congress created the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which require eligible governmental agencies to set aside a percentage of their extramural budget so that domestic small businesses can engage in federal research and development (R&D) that has a strong potential for technology commercialization. The SBIR and STTR programs at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) aim to support small businesses in developing technologies that can advance the mission of the Institute, including basic neuroscience research, translational and clinical research, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and in the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based research on mental disorders.
