Our experts help you develop commercialization strategies, establish your business foundations, and position your company for lasting market success.

Designed to Support Commercialization

TABA helps SBIR/STTR awardees bridge the gap between research and market readiness by funding or enabling access to expert services that support technology commercialization.

Flexible Funding Through Federal Agencies

Support is delivered in one of two ways: federal agencies may directly fund approved vendors on behalf of small businesses, or provide additional funding so companies can independently contract consultants and service providers.

Eligibility and Provider Access

FedTech is the preferred TABA provider for Army Phase I & II SBIR/STTR and NOAA Phase II awardees. If you did not request TABA during your proposal stage, you may still be eligible. However, companies applying for SBIR/STTR funding must request TABA and specify their preferred provider at the time of application submission.

Testimonials

“...thank you so much for the help in refining Neurable's presentation, narrative, and overall understanding of how to work with the DoD… But most excitingly... I wanted to let you all know that we were accepted for our very first Phase 2! This is a direct result from our most recent Phase 1 engagement and I am beyond thankful.”
