SBIR/STTR Phase I to Phase II Transition Benchmarks

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is publishing the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I to Phase II transition rate benchmarks for the 11 participating agencies for public comment. The rates are the minimum required ratio of past Phase II to Phase I awards that an awardee firm must maintain to be eligible for a new Phase I award from a particular agency. This requirement is described in Section 4(a) of the SBIR Policy Directive and the STTR Policy Directive which implements section 5165 of the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011.
