TechLink's SBIR/STTR Assistance Programs

As part of its overall mission as a "Technology Scout" for the Department of Defense, Office of Technology Transition, TechLink provides specialized support for qualified companies in its region in further developing and transitioning promising new technologies initially validated under the DoD SBIR or STTR program, guiding these companies in transitioning the new technologies to Defense use. This assistance emphasizes planning for Defense technology transition, which is a top priority for DoD and a prerequisite for success in the DoD SBIR/STTR Phase II and Phase III programs. Through its close working relationship with numerous DoD labs and centers, TechLink can also assist companies in developing technology partnerships with Defense labs that facilitate greater long-term success. 

Special SBIR assistance is available to qualified Montana companies for other agencies, through all stages of SBIR and STTR,  through the support of  TechLink and the MSU VP for Research office.

TechLink offers several different specialized programs that assist companies through the SBIR or STTR process.  Below are the specialized programs that may be available to your company. Please click on the link to learn more about each program:
