If you happen to have a specific SBIR or STTR related question and are unsure where to look for the answer, please use the simple web-form on our Contact page. I probably know the answer, and will be happy to help you!
There's a lot of mis-information out there about SBIR "rules". If it sounds outrageous, or irrationally restrictive, it's likely untrue. Ask me about it - I 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.
