WASHINGTON-- NASA has picked 39 small company propositions to enter into negotiations for Phase 2 agreement awards with the agency 's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The SBIR program partners with small businesses to catalyze efforts to establish new technologies to support NASA's technology needs. NASA will award agreements to 36 small high-technology companies in 17 states with an overall worth of roughly $ 27 million. These competitive, awards-based programs urge U.S. small businesses to take part in federal research and development, and bring new technologies to the global marketplace. "NASA's SBIR activities foster innovative approaches to technology development-- from concept to prototype to an eventual commercial product or service," stated Michael Gazarik, supervisor of the Space Technology Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
