NM FAST offers eligible small businesses assistance with funding efforts through the federal SBIR and STTR programs. Securing federal funding for your innovation is a critical step towards commercial success. SBIR and STTR programs offer more than $2.5 billion dollars annually to support the development of technology by small businesses across the nation and are an excellent source of undiluted early stage capital, but they are highly competitive. Together, we assemble a team of advocates who will help you evaluate the feasibility of your idea and apply for an SBIR or STTR.

Despite nearly 20% of the world’s population being affected by neurological disorders, neuroscience is a subject absent from K-12 education. In 2009, Backyard Brains set out on a mission to inspire the next generation to take an interest in a field desperately in need of more bright minds. Using SBIR/STTR funding, experiments like their “RoboRoach” are working to teach neurology in a way that is both accessible and exciting for younger audiences.
