SBIR/STTR Programs

Abstract

This presentation provides an overview of the NASA mission and overviews of both the Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs and how they relate to each other and to the NASA mission. Examples are provided concerning NASA technology needs and how the SBIR program has not only enabled technology development to meet those needs, but has also facilitated the infusion of that technology into the NASA mission.
