All About TABA Funding
Have you noticed refences to “TABA Vendor” or “TABA Provider” in the SBIR solicitation you are submitting proposals to, and wondered what that was? Read below to find out more.
We have provided Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) support on hundreds of SBIR projects spanning all of the participating agencies. We have a truly unique approach that focuses on reducing your time invested while delivering your ideal outcome.
What is TABA funding?
Technical and Business Assistance is provided to support the commercialization of your technology. Specific implantation varies among the participating agencies, so be sure to check their specific instructions with each solicitation. Typically, selecting TABA funding adds up to $6,500 to a Phase I and up to $50,000 to a Phase II SBIR/STTR.
What if I am proposing to an agency that does not provide TABA funding?
For agencies and branches that do not offer the additional TABA funding, we offer the same scope of work under a small subcontract. This is a great value and will significantly increase your chances of securing your next stage of funding.
Can I customize TABA funding to meet my specific needs?
Absolutely. As your TABA provider, we work for you and we focus our efforts on your specific needs.

Can I switch my TABA provider?
Typically you may change your TABA provider selection, even after the project has begun. However, you will need to work closely with your contracting officer to ensure that this is allowable and executed correctly.
