The Innovation Development Institute, as part of the small group which developed
the original SBIR concept, long-time advocate for this important technology
development resource and keeper of the SBIR record, has invested significantly
in the development of its proprietary, database-grounded, analytical system
called SBIR ASSETs - Access SBIR-STTR Scientific Engineering Talent system.
Tapping into the considerable wealth of technical talent among participants in
the federal Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR) has proven to be a
useful, value-adding resource. However, while those with technology seeking
responsibilities in larger firms have become aware of SBIR as a collaborative

proprietary databases, larger firms can access the most relevant SBIR Awardees
to meet their business requirements. For more information, please visit
