Description of this webinar:

The goals of the SBIR Program include the commercialization of innovations derived from federal R&D and the use of small business to meet federal research and development (R&D) needs. The intent of the SBIR Program dovetails with the NIST mission to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST has for many years deployed the SBIR Program as a way to engage small businesses in meeting its R&D needs. Since 2008, there has been an additional and novel approach pioneered at NIST SBIR to support small businesses by providing access to technologies developed by NIST which require private sector innovation to overcome roadblocks to commercialization.
