SBIR Tibbetts Awards Program Revived

After a few years on hiatus, the SBIR Tibbetts Award program is back. Severe budget cut backs at SBA forced a halt in 2003 to this prestigious SBIR national awards program.

Named for Roland Tibbetts, the person acknowledged as the father of the Small Business Innovation Research program, these awards are made annually to those small firms, projects, organizations and individuals judged to exemplify the very best in SBIR achievement.

In an effort spearheaded by the SBTC and Jere Glover, the program has been restarted with the support of many federal agencies as well the private sector. Even Roland Tibbetts himself has agreed to advise and participate in the awards program.

Nominations for awards will open May 15, 2006 and close July 15, 2006. Details are available from the Tibbetts Awards website.
