About this program
The Small Business Administration is funding state and regional technology outreach and support programs under the Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program (CFDA 59.058), with the most recent grant opportunity due July 29, 2026 (Solicitation SB-OIIFT-26-001).
The FAST program funds organizations to execute state-based and regional programs that raise awareness of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) federal funding opportunities, educate small businesses on program requirements, increase proposal submissions and awards, and expand outreach to underrepresented populations including women, socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, and rural small businesses. Recent awards fund universities, state economic development authorities, technology development corporations, and non-profit research institutes to deliver proposal development training, mentoring, technical assistance, and financial support to R&D-focused small businesses seeking SBIR/STTR funding. The program has demonstrated steady activity: 383 awards since 2010, with 49 awards in 2024 and activity escalating from 18 awards in 2023.
The Small Business Administration Office of Investments and Innovations dominates funding, accounting for 203 awards and $33.6 million of the $48.3 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Two additional SBA sub-organizations—the general SBA (118 awards, $9.3 million) and the Office of Performance Management and the Chief Financial Officer (62 awards, $5.4 million)—fund the remainder. The portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (60 percent of awards) with a substantial Cooperative Agreement component (39 percent), plus a small number of Block Grants.
Recent awards range from roughly $85,000 to $294,420 per award. The September 2024 funding tranche awarded cooperative agreements to universities and state technology organizations including the University of Illinois ($294,420), Puerto Rico Science, Technology Research Trust ($294,009), University of Wyoming ($294,420), and Connecticut Innovations ($200,000), with most multi-year awards running through September 2029. The combined total dollars obligated (federal plus non-federal share) stands at $64.6 million, indicating a $16.3 million cost-share contribution from recipients.
The current opportunity (SB-OIIFT-26-001) solicits Cooperative Agreements and is open to unrestricted applicant types with a July 29, 2026 deadline. The program has maintained regular annual funding cycles, with opportunities posted in spring and due in early summer each year.
