The NSF SBIR/STTR program focuses on transforming scientific and engineering discoveries into products and services with commercial and societal impact. The deep technologies they fund show promise but their success hasn’t yet been validated. Each year, NSF awards over $230M annually in research and development funding to about 400 startups across the US in almost any technology category.
