Small Business Intake
The Institute of Applied Engineering is unique in design leveraging internal engineering personnel, program management, financial, and FAR contract expertise to deliver results across the spectrum of need. If the customer’s need cannot be answered internally, IAE connects with the faculty at the University of South Florida to solve the problem. Further the IAE can leverage a consortium of 30+ universities and small businesses across the nation to address customer’s needs.
The most prevalent way we partner with small businesses is through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
