We specialize in helping small businesses and startups secure SBIR/STTR funding and navigate the commercialization process seamlessly.
Technical and Business Assistance (TABA)
Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) provides an opportunity to assist small businesses participating in the SBIR and STTR programs in commercializing their technology.
Phase I TABA Award: Up to $6,500 may be provided as an additional amount for each Phase I award.
Phase II TABA Award: Up to $50,000 may be provided as an additional amount for each Phase II award.
Each agency has specific instructions on how to apply for and allowable uses of the TABA funding, and you can reach out to a Program Officer if you have questions about the process
If your company requires commercialization or transition assistance for SBIR/STTR projects, consider utilizing TABA.
TABA enables small businesses to choose their own assistance services instead of using an agency-provided vendor.
These funds can provide essential financial support to help commercialize your product, stretching your SBIR/STTR dollars further.
