DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A – Unclassified, Unlimited Distribution•
Transition Agents support stakeholders in crafting an STTP
The STTP documents the plan and identifies:
• All critical stakeholders (roles & responsibilities)
• Current TRL/MRL of SBIR Phase II technology
• TRL/MRL levels required for transition
• Financial strategy
• Unfunded requirements
– TAs help identify funding mechanisms
• Intellectual Property (IP) protection
• Risk mitigation
