NASA SELECTS SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PHASE 2 PROJECTS
NASA has selected 27 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) research
proposals for Phase 2 contract negotiations.
The STTR projects total approximately 16 million dollars and directly
support NASA's Vision for Space Exploration. The contracts will be awarded
to 24 small, high-technology firms in 15 states.
The goals of NASA's STTR program are to stimulate technological innovation;
increase the use of small business, including women-owned and disadvantaged
firms, in meeting federal research and development needs; and to increase
private sector commercialization of innovations derived from
federally-funded research. The STTR program requires a collaborative
research effort between small business and research institutions.
NASA evaluated 41 STTR proposals submitted by U.S. owned small business
concerns. Phase 2 continues development of the most promising Phase 1
projects. Only Phase 1 participants can compete for continuation of their
efforts with Phase 2 contracts. Selection criteria for Phase 2 includes:
technical merit and innovation, Phase 1 results, value to NASA, commercial
potential and company capabilities. Phase 2 contracts are funded up to
600,000 dollars for a performance period of up to two years.
The STTR Program Management Office is hosted at the Goddard Space Flight
Center, Greenbelt, Md, with executive oversight by NASA's Exploration
Systems Mission Directorate. Individual STTR projects are managed by NASA's
field centers.
