The SBIR/STTR program is a specialized form of funding for the purpose of helping to provide early-stage Research and Development funding to small technology companies (or individual entrepreneurs who form a company).   Solicitations are released periodically from federal agencies that present technical topics of R&D which the agency is interested in funding.   Companies are invited to compete for funding by submitting proposals answering the technical topic needs of the agency's solicitation.  These needs span the technology spectrum -- from aviation and agriculture to medicine and manufacturing.  The Technology Research & Development Center (TREND) provides Alaska business owners and entrepreneurs  technical assistance with the SBIR and STTR programs.  Call 907-274-7232 or email to ancap1@uaa.alaska.edu for details.
