Melanie Neely Willis, Director of Grants and Contracts

The SBIR/STTR programs are supported by legislative mandate. In FY 2013, all federal agencies with extramural research budgets that exceeded $100 million were required to set-aside 2.7% and 0.35% of their budget for SBIR and STTR grants, respectively.
