The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awards more than $1 billion a year through its () grant program. The SBIR grant program supports small early-stage, research and development (R&D) technology companies in order to increase private sector commercialization of and small business participation in federally funded R&D. The program also stimulates technological innovation and fosters minority and disadvantaged firms participation in technological innovation. The SBIR program has three phases (I, II and III) in which Phase I is project feasibility, Phase II is project development to prototype and Phase III is commercialization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DepartmentOfDefense )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Technological Research and Development Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
