• Each U.S. federal agency has its own program, publishes its own book or list of solicitations, and administers its own funds to promote research and development opportunities for small American firms. • Companies based solely in Canada are not eligible for an SBIR award. • Any joint venture entity must be greater than 50% American-owned, and the controlling interest must be held by an American entity. • Subcontracting is possible. • Each agency publishes pre-solicitation announcements and must issue an SBIR list of research for the next quarter. • Find out more from the U.S. Small Business Administration’s SBIR webpage.
