This video presents a
short overview of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program with a
focus on the role of data rights. The video defines the program, how it is
used, and its key purposes. The video also mentions SBIR eligibility and
the three phases of SBIR awards. The video concludes with a discussion of
how technical data and computer software generated under SBIR awards are
protected by the Government against unauthorized use and disclosure. Although
this video discusses SBIR data rights and does not explicitly discuss the Small
Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, the guidance on SBIR data rights
also applies to SBIR/STTR data rights. For a list of SBIR/STTR resources,
