Research abstract

The Air Force SBIR/STTR programs have historically encountered problems: for participants in navigating the process, and for program managers in measuring program outcomes. For the last two years, Union has been working with the Air Force to enhance the SBIR/STTR program experience for both participants and program managers. With Union, the Air Force has been able to engage, track, and support participating startups in a structured, measurable and scalable way. We’ve advanced our work together to a Phase III annual contract with AFWERX. Union believes there is a significant opportunity to further improve the Air Force SBIR/STTR cohort experience. Union will dedicate this Phase II to product enhancements that drive connectivity, problem-solution velocity and outcomes for the SBIR/STTR programs.
