FREE CONSULTING FOR QUICK QUESTIONS

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.
