Office of Naval Research1/24 Navy SBIR and STTR Programs Mr. John Williams Director - Navy SBIR, STTR & Technology Transfer (T2) at the Office of Naval Research May 2010

Office of Naval Research2/24 Navy SBIR/STTR Program Goals Two main goals of Navy SBIR/STTR Program: -Use small business to develop innovative technology that addresses a Navy need -Commercialize that technology – i.e, transition it into a Navy platform or weapons system

Office of Naval Research3/24 Acquisition Driven Process TECHNOLOGY PULL APPROACH Over 80% of Navy Topics are selected by PEO/PM/FNC office and address one of their specific needs -- not just “sponsored by” Topics and awards based on their R&D priorities and SBIR funding allocation. The PEO gets back 90% of its SBIR/STTR tax Many contracts awarded/monitored by lab employees with Acquisition Office POC involved

Office of Naval Research4/24 FPDS Report Data on DOD-funded Phase III Contracts During FY99-FY09 Total FY09 Navy Phase III funding was $374M Total Navy funding obligated on Phase IIIs has exceeded SBIR Phase I and II budget since 2002 FPDS data shows Navy FY09 Phase III funding came from 134 separate contracts to 112 individual firms In Millions

Office of Naval Research9/24 Why would a Small Business Want to Participate in the SBIR Program? Largest source of early stage R&D funds for small business; FY10 DoD SBIR budget = $1.25B, Navy = >$315M No strings attached – SBIR awardee retains data rights for 4 years or more (5 for DoD) Follow-on awards are contracted non-competitively Strong transition support focused on commercialization Company can maintain ownership of equipment purchased under Phase I and II Better alternative than Venture Capital or mortgaging the house….again

Office of Naval Research10/24 The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is: -A unique Navy SBIR program offered exclusively to our SBIR and STTR Phase II award recipients -An intensive 11-month program that provides participants with a business consultant focused on helping the SBIR company transition its technology -Designed to help recipients conduct strategic planning and enhance their preparation for transition to Phase III -Training includes development of business plans, protection of intellectual property, license agreements, partnering, venture capital, etc. Enhancements include manufacturing assessment, strategic planning, commercial potential assessments Navy Opportunity Forum. -TAP ends with companies briefing PEOs, industry and VC communities at the Navy Opportunity Forum. Navy SBIR/STTR Transition Assistance Program (TAP) helps Small Business TAP increases Phase III commercialization success of participating Navy SBIR and STTR programs

Office of Naval Research12/24 Navy TAP results projects completed the Navy Transition Assistance Program between 2001 and % (421) of those projects have successfully obtained Phase III (additional non-SBIR funding) within 18 Months of the Navy Opportunity Forum. Collectively, these 421 projects reported $1.15 billion in Phase III funding. These 421 projects have a per project Phase III average of $2.7M. 95% of projects going through the Navy TAP program would recommend the program to other small businesses. 12

Office of Naval Research20/24 How does Government Benefit from SBIR Program? Safe, effective way to scope out high-risk R&D Small businesses are often more cost effective and innovative than large primes (i.e. agile, niche) Helps new companies establish a track record with the government (test-drive) Allows program managers to establish second source/method for R&D/equipment and augment their ongoing programs (risk management)

Office of Naval Research21/24 Tips for Succeeding w/Navy Just Getting Started? Research topics consistent with your business strategy. Current and past solicitations identify Navy technology needs. Know Navy structure. Submit proposals for solicitations your company can solve. Prepare to be innovative. Already have a Phase I? Know your target platform/system for insertion. Build strategic partnerships (Resource Sponsors, Acquisition Managers, Program Managers). Plan commercialization path early with TPOC.
