Oregon Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants

Phase 0 and Phase 00 Grants

• Other out-of-pocket costs directly related to preparing the SBIR/STTR Phase I application (e.g., market research, technical database research or statistical analyses)

New Matching Grants

Federal SBIR/STTR funding is a great source for early-stage companies, but it is not enough to help a company stand on its own. Business

Oregon's SBIR/STTR Matching Grant Program provides funds to match the federal award, which will help fill gaps and assist businesses build on projects and advance developed technologies.

Business Oregon may award Oregon-based companies grants of up to $50,000 to those that have received a federal Phase I SBIR/STTR award or up to $100,000 to those that have received a federal Phase II SBIR/STTR or Fast-track grant award. Budgets of up to $150,000 for Phase II or Fast-track matching grants will be considered if a very strong case can be made for the extra funds.

To apply for a matching grant, Business Oregon is accepting responses to the Request for Proposal (RFP) . To be considered, submit a complete application form and other required information as outlined in the RFP.
