The federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are a critical source of non-dilutive funding for early-stage companies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) SBIR and STTR programs provide approximately $200 million annually to U.S. small businesses for developing and commercializing novel cancer technologies. Besides funding, the NCI SBIR Development Center offers various commercialization resources to support small businesses in bringing their products to market.
