Small Business Grant Programs

Matching grants to assist small business in research and technology transfer

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) programs help Oregon small businesses access federal funding opportunities by providing matching funds for SBIR/STTR proposal preparation. Awards are designed to help defer the costs for Oregon small businesses to apply for these two federal grant programs.

If the applicant is approved, the department will match the applicant's contribution (1:1) for one of three eligible expenditures:

  1. a proposal writing consultant (up to $3,000 of matching funds);
  2. a proposal review consultant (up to $500 of matching funds); or
  3. attendance at a qualified SBIR/STTR conference (up to $500).

Learn more about the programs at the Small Business Development Center Network site.
