Description:
AT AF/SB, one of our aims is to reach out to the small business community in order to increase the number of innovative suppliers in the industrial base, which increases the government's access to new solutions and technologies. We're organized to use policy, programs, strategy, assistance and operations to ensure the Air Force benefits from all that small business have to offer to meet mission requirements. The Air Force Office of Small Business Programs utilizes the Department of Defense (DoD) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to harness the talents of our nation's small technology companies. These two similar programs stimulate technological innovation and accelerate development and production of promising technologies that can help the Air Force accomplish its mission. SBIR and STTR provide over a billion dollars in seed capital each year for early-stage research and development (R&D) at small technology companies.
