I'm doing research for a slide presentation to make recommendations for improving SBIR and STTR grants.
A SIBR is a Small Business Set-Asside program for research grants and a STTR is the same, but requires a univerity to be at least 30% of the grant. Specifically, the grants are to do research with the ultimate goal of commercializing the reseach. For instance, research in battery technology may lead to a commercial battery product. OR research in power saving computer software may lead to having it be included in a new computer. I am most interested in Electrical Engineering and Computer engineering, but SIBRS are used throughout the government for medical research, computer research, military research, etc. What they have found, however is that too many research grants are never being commercialized, and we want to know why and make recommendations. If anyone has participated and has some suggestions for improvement Please contact me offline.
