Traditionally Missouri has been underrepresented in terms of the number of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) grants learn more about SBIR/STTR program. Missouri is consistently ranked among the lowest 12 states both in submitted and awarded grants per capita.

In an effort to change this situation, the Missouri Federal and State Technology program and the Missouri Small Business Development Centers propose to help Missouri by:

· Winning more SBIR and STTR awards by offering assistance to small technology businesses and university researchers in preparing SBIR/STTR proposals.

· Providing access to university researchers and high-growth businesses to strengthen the applicant’s SBIR or STTR proposal.

· Monitoring agencies for potential funding opportunities and post agencies’ information on our website and broadcast this information to our registered website users.

The federal government has more the $1.5 billion available each year in awards from federal agencies. Awards to Missouri innovators help to keep the technology and commercialization in the state resulting in a better standard of living for all citizens. Please help us improve innovation in Missouri.
