R41 and R42: Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grants

The STTR Program (R41 and R42 research grant mechanisms) supports cooperative research and development projects between small business concerns (SBCs) and not-for-profit research institutions to establish the technical merit and feasibility of aging- & health-focused products and/or services that have potential for commercialization.

The STTR Program allows for the participation of principal investigators (PIs) employed by not-for-profit research institutions. In STTR projects, at least 40% of the work must be performed by the SBC and at least 30% of the work must be performed by the not-for-profit research institution.
