DOWNLOAD EBOOKCreated in 1982 through the Small Business Innovation Development Act, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program remains the nation's single largest innovation program for small business. The SBIR program offers competitive awards to support the development and commercialization of innovative technologies by small private-sector businesses. At the same time, the program provides government agencies with technical and scientific solutions that address their different missions. SBIR at the Department of Defense considers ways that the Department of Defense SBIR program could work better in addressing the congressional objectives for the SBIR program to stimulate technological innovation, use small businesses to meet federal research and development (R & D) needs, foster and encourage the participation of socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, and increase the private sector commercialization of innovations derived from federal R&D. An earlier report, An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program at the Department of Defense, studied how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. This report builds on the previous one, with a revised survey of SBIR companies. SBIR at the Department of Defense revisits some case studies from the 2009 study and develops new ones, and interviews agency managers and other stakeholders to provide a second snapshot of the program's progress toward achieving its legislative goals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe shift towards qualify performance and accounting for results has dramatically changed the way Government executes public policy objectives. The advent of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) places the responsibility for gathering this information upon each Federal activity subject to its provisions. The Army SBIR program must now find a way to qualify its performance and determine what results are derived from a program that expends in excess of $100,000,000 annually on research. This thesis analyses Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) commercialization rates against a National Science Foundation study of DoD Fast Track and DoD Control Group awards. It provides an objective measure of program results that program officials can use to submit their annual GPRA performance reports. The thesis studied 37 SBIR phase II firms and established a performance baseline. The thesis concludes that Army SBIR awards are outperforming DoD Fast Track and DoD Control Groups in the critical area of average commercial sales per award. It recommends a reduced focus on outside investment and a survey strategy that uses small sample sizes to qualify program performance. It concludes with a proposed survey instrument that Army SBIR managers can use to capture future program outcomes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe SBIR program allocates 2.5 percent of 11 federal agencies' extramural R&D budgets to fund R&D projects by small businesses, providing approximately $2 billion annually in competitive awards. At the request of Congress, the National Academies conducted a comprehensive study of how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. Drawing substantially on new data collection, this book examines the SBIR program at the Department of Defense and makes recommendations for improvements. Separate reports will assess the SBIR program at NSF, NIH, DOE, and NASA, respectively, along with a comprehensive report on the entire program.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1992, Congress for the first time explicitly directed the federal agencies making SBIR grants to use commercial potential as a criterion for granting SBIR awards. In response, the Department of Defense developed the SBIR Fast Track initiative, which provides expedited decision-making for SBIR awards to companies that have commitments from outside vendors. To verify the effectiveness of this initiative, the DoD asked the STEP Board to assess the operation of Fast Track. This volume of original field research includes case studies comparing Fast Track and non-Fast Track firms, a large survey of SBIR awardees, and statistical analyses of the impact of regular SBIR and Fast Track awards. Collectively, the commissioned papers and the findings and recommendations represent a significant contribution to our understanding of the SBIR program.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn October 1995, the Department of Defense launched a Fast Track initiative to attract new firms and encourage commercialization of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funded technologies throughout the department. The goal of the Fast Track initiative is to help close the funding gap that can occur between Phase I and II of the SBIR program. The Fast Track initiative seeks to address the gap by providing expedited review and essentially continuous funding from Phase I to Phase II, as long as applying firms can demonstrate that they have obtained third-party financing for their technology. Another program initiative, Phase II Enhancement, was launched in 1999 to concentrate SBIR funds on those R&D projects most likely to result in viable new products that the Department of Defense and others will buy. The current volume evaluates the two SBIR Program initiatives-Fast Track and Phase II Enhancement-and finds that both programs are effective. Ninety percent of Fast Track and 95 percent of Phase II Enhancement reported satisfaction with their decision. This book identifies the successes and remaining shortcomings of the programs, providing recommendations to address these issues.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCurrently, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funds cannot be used to administer the SBIR program; SBIR administration must be funded from other sources. As Congress reauthorizes the program, it is considering whether to allow partial use of SBIR set-asides for SBIR program administration costs and, if so, at what levels. In this report, the authors estimate how much it currently costs to administer the DoD SBIR program.
