IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to submit annual commercialization reports may deter selection for future grants.


The remaining two components (listed below) may be used if a company has information to report.

  • Click on Publications and Products (if applicable). (Report scientific articles or papers appearing in scientific, technical, or professional journals. Include any publication that will be published in a proceedings of a scientific society, a conference, or the like. Report any significant product, other than a publication (or electronic publication), that you have developed under this project.)

  • Click on Contributions (if applicable). (A primary function of NSF support for research and education—along with training of people—is to help build a base of knowledge, theory, and technique in the relevant fields. That base will be drawn on many times and far into the future, often in ways that cannot be specifically predicted to meet the needs of the nation and of people. Most NSF-supported research and education projects should be producing contributions to the base of knowledge and technique in the immediately relevant field(s).)

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is one of the largest examples of U.S. public-private partnerships. Founded in 1982, SBIR was designed to encourage small business to develop new processes and products and to provide quality research in support of the many missions of the U.S. government, including health, energy, the environment, and national defense. In response to a request from the U.S. Congress, the National Research Council assessed SBIR as administered by the five federal agencies that together make up 96 percent of program expenditures.

This book, one of six in the series, reports on the SBIR program at the National Science Foundation. The study finds that the SBIR program is sound in concept and effective in practice, but that it can also be improved. Currently, the program is delivering results that meet most of the congressional objectives, including stimulating technological innovation, increasing private-sector commercialization of innovations, using small businesses to meet federal research and development needs, and fostering participation by minority and disadvantaged persons. The book suggests ways in which the program can improve operations, continue to increase private-sector commercialization, and improve participation by women and minorities.
