1
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:17,000 
There are two main phases funded through the SBIR and STTR Programs: Phase 1 - Proof of Concept, and Phase 2 - Prototype Development.

2
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000 
If the Phase I project proves successful, DARPA may invite the company to submit a Phase II proposal.

3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000 
During the companies Phase 2 effort, they should be looking for ways to fund their Phase three’s.

4
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000 
Some of the ways to do that would be to leverage other non-SBIR programs

5
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:45,000 
such as the Department of Homeland Security’s fourteen-O-one program, which is a program for first responder related technologies,

6
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:57,000 
the Defense Acquisition Challenge Program, and the technology transition initiative programs, which are designed to mature technologies to the six, seven or above levels.

7
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,000 
During the Phase II contract, you should also: further refine your commercialization strategy, develop and pursue potential transition pathways,

8
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000 
identify and pursue relationships with collaborators and partners such as potential end-users and Prime contractors,

9
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000 
and find opportunities for testing, benchmarking and experimentation, which is also an opportunity to showcase your technology.

10
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:33,000 
Once you have received Phase III funding, it’s important to remember to update your DoD SBIR/STTR Company Commercialization Report.

11
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000 
This will ensure that we have current information on your company’s transition progress and commercialization successes.

12
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 
We hope that this section has been both informative and inspiring.

13
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:53,000 
The following sections provide additional information to further enhance your knowledge about working with DARPA and transitioning technology from the lab to the market.
