What are the three attributes of sbir data?


Asked by Dorothy Clements on Nov 29, 2021 FAQ



This opens in a new window. SBIR/STTR Data has three basic attributes: 1) it is recorded information, 2) of a technical nature, 3) that is generated under an SBIR or STTR funding agreement and appropriately marked with the SBIR/STTR Data Rights legend.
Keeping this in consideration,
The SBIR Program is structured in three phases: Phase I. The objective of Phase I is to establish the technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of the proposed R/R&D efforts and to determine the quality of performance of the small business awardee organization prior to providing further Federal support in Phase II.
Accordingly, 48 CFR § 52.227-20 - Rights in Data - SBIR Program. 52.227-20 Rights in Data - SBIR Program. (a) Definitions. As used in this clause - Computer database or database means a collection of recorded information in a form capable of, and for the purpose of, being stored in, processed, and operated on by a computer.
Furthermore,
Marking SBIR Data is critical to protecting it from government disclosure. Because the government cannot disclose SBIR or STTR Data, an SBIR firm’s competitors can obtain such data only if they purchase the technology or acquire the SBIR firm. Be very careful not to disclose your SBIR Data voluntarily.
Also,
Phase III has no limit on the number, duration, type or dollar value of awards made to a small business. There is also no limit on the time that may elapse between a Phase I or Phase II award and a Phase III award, or between a Phase III award and any subsequent Phase III award.
