Technology Assistance Programs

TechLink is sponsored by the Department of Defense Office of Technology Transition to assist in federally mandated technology transfer activities, focused on transitioning innovative new technologies to serve the Warfighter. While licensing of DoD technologies for commercial and dual-use applications is a major objective, special emphasis is placed on transition of technology from innovative (but often overlooked) regional small businesses to support Warfighter needs. To assist companies in its region with these activities, TechLink has established the following special assistance programs. Funding is limited and awards will be determined through a competitive, in-house review of applications.

DoD SBIR/STTR Assistance Programs

As part of its overall mission for the Department of Defense, TechLink provides specialized support for companies in the EPSCoR and other states of its region in transitionaing DoD SBIR- or STTR-developed technologies through Phase II and Phase III, and in transitioning new technologies to Defense use. These assistance programs emphasize planning for Defense technology transition, which is a top priority for DoD and a prerequisite for success in the DoD SBIR/STTR 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.
