Understanding SBIR/STTR awards
What does this tracker cover?
It includes awards matched to companies in this directory. It is a subset of the federal dataset, and the absence of a company or award does not establish that it received no funding.
Are SBIR awards private investment?
No. These records describe federal research awards. They are shown separately from equity investment and federal contract totals to avoid suggesting that overlapping records are additional funding.
