SBIR / STTR Proposals
The University of Louisville is the perfect partner for your company's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposal. These programs are competitive funding programs administered by the federal government for stimulating technological innovation in the small business community, and provide a dynamic opportunity for small businesses to partner with colleges and universities.

UofL is always interested in assisting our industry partners in applying for SBIR/STTR grants. We’re happy to discuss any special considerations UofL may have for industry partnerships based on these programs, as well as to discuss our available resources.
SBIR/STTR RESOURCES
For a quick look at some of the ways Kentucky supports its SBIR/STTR applicants, please visit the following pages:
- Kentucky SBIR/STTR Matching Funds Program: The Commonwealth of Kentucky has implemented a program to match both Phase I and Phase II federal SBIR and STTR awards to Kentucky high-tech small businesses. SBIR/STTR awardees from Kentucky (or who are willing to relocate to Kentucky) can apply.
- Kentucky SBIR/STTR Phase Zero and Double Zero Grant Program (PZ/DZ): The program goal of PZ/DZ is to assist Kentucky's new and existing small businesses with the preparation of high-quality, competitive SBIR and STTR proposals—Phase Zero for preparation of Phase I proposals; Phase Double Zero for preparation of Phase II proposals.
