There's a lot of mis-information out there about SBIR "rules". If it sounds outrageous, or irrationally restrictive, it's likely untrue. Ask us about it - we do know the rules. And, what's more, many of the "rules" are policies - not laws. The Agency SBIR Program Managers can authorize exceptions, but you have to have a REALLY compelling reason! No obligation, just friendly support from Fred Patterson, The SBIR Coach.
