There are many benefits to applying for NCI SBIR & STTR funding opportunities, such as:
- SBIR & STTR funding can be a leveraging tool to help attract additional funding from other third-party investors.
- Awards are not loans; no repayment is required.
- SBIR & STTR funding is non-dilutive capital (i.e., an award does not impact the company’s stock or shares in any way). Intellectual property rights to technologies developed under these programs are retained by the small business concern.
- SBIR & STTR awards provide recognition, verification, and visibility.
The SBIR & STTR Programs are NCI’s engine of innovation for developing and commercializing novel technologies and products to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. The SBIR & STTR Programs are government set-aside programs for domestic small businesses to engage in research and development that has the potential for commercialization and public benefit.
