The Kansas Federal and State Technology Partnership Program (FAST) provides resources to small businesses seeking SBIR and STTR funding.
FAST awards build the SBIR/STTR ecosystem through:
- Outreach: increase the pipeline of SBIR/STTR applicants through training and outreach; and build the capacity of partner organizations and individuals to support SBIR/STTR applicants and existing awardees.
- Technical and business assistance: support entrepreneurs and startups through programs or services that improve proposal development and team creation; provide assistance that leads to the commercialization of technology developed through SBIR/STTR program funding; and form or encourage relevant mentoring networks to provide business advice and counseling.
- Financial support: make grants or loans to applicants to pay a portion or all the cost of developing SBIR/STTR proposals (Phase 0), attending relevant conferences, and bridging gaps between phases.
Kansas SBIR/STTR Matching Program
Fueling Kansas Innovation from Lab to Launch
SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) matching is a new initiative to help Kansas innovators, entrepreneurs and researchers compete and win in the national innovation arena. The program will enable Kansans to leverage federal funding and research and development opportunities more effectively through strategic partnerships that help companies enhance their global competitiveness while strengthening the state’s role in advancing national and domestic security.
