Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) Award Programs
UD-CCM is always looking to expand on our investments and
relationships with small businesses. We feel strongly that it is
one of the most effective means to transition and commercialize
technology. Many of our sponsors, such as Advanced Ceramics Research,
3TEX and Triton Systems, Inc. have received awards for their technology
innovations.
Through SBIR and STTR programs, UD-CCM establishes partnerships
with a number of start-up companies or small businesses to carry
out government-sponsored research and transfer the resulting technology.
The following highlights the current list of UD-CCM and SBIR/STTR
