In partnership with the Vermont Small Business Development Center (VtSBDC), the Vermont Procurement Technical Assistance Center (VTPTAC) offers services to Vermont businesses who wish to pursue US Government R&D funding.

There are special R&D programs just for small businesses - the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program  and there are also many more R&D programs in the federal government. These programs ensure that the nation's small, high-tech, innovative businesses are a significant part of the federal government's research and development efforts.

Working with VtSBDC, we can help you seek funds under Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), which are open to large and small businesses. There is even a Vermont program designed to get Vermont businesses started on the R&D path: the VT EPSCoR "phase 0" program. 

VtSBDC can help you access technology funding to advance your ideas. Please visit VtSBDC  for more information and for the SBIR contact.
