What is Sbir

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive funding programs that promote US-based small business engagement in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with potential for commercialization. Through this competitive awards-based program, SBIR provides small businesses the opportunity to explore their technological potential and the incentive to profit from its commercialization.

Qortek Sbir Experience

QorTek has been the fortunate recipient of many Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants from a variety of agencies such as the NIH, NSF, NASA, and nearly all US DoD agencies. These funding streams have enabled QorTek to further develop leading-edge technologies within its overall R/R&D efforts. These Federal funds have been instrumental in QorTek’s establishment of a wide range of US leading technology capabilities and product lines that are distributed all over the world. Through these key technology investments from the Federal government, QorTek is providing key hardware to support Federal agency missions and programs.

How SBIR can support you

If your company does not qualify or have the means to attract SBIR funding for your product technology development, you can still gain access to Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) by partnering with QorTek and with no pay-back required. This unique Federal funding access is recognized and used by large US Corporations who are often the single largest recipients of the Federal SBIR funds. In certain scenarios, such follow-on Federal SBIR program funding has ranged into the tens of millions of dollars.

We at QorTek are highly motivated to collaborate with outside corporations wherever our R&D and core expertise can align with your technology and product development efforts. A unique funding mechanism offered by multiple agencies are Sequential SBIR Phase II Contracts. These Direct to Phase II SBIR options can streamline traditional procurement channels and build upon previous development programs. Partnering with QorTek can bypass the requests-for-proposal or competitive bid processes to save 12-18 months of your company’s time. This mechanism enables straight to a sole-source contract to further technology development in an accelerated fashion if the proposed effort is derived from, extends, or completes work under a prior QorTek SBIR Phase 1 or Phase 2 contract. In addition, there is the potential for further significant financial support from these agencies under a larger Phase III award. In other words, the contract is a sole source award and competition is not required which will greatly reduce acquisition time in direct support of your development efforts.
