Texas FAST Programs
The Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program provides funding to organizations to execute state/regional programs that increase the number of SBIR/STTR proposals leading to an increase in the number of SBIR/STTR awards from women, socially/economically disadvantaged individuals, and small businesses in underrepresented areas - typically rural states.
The Texas SBIR/STTR Assistance Pathways Program (Pathways) is a self-paced, streamlined, and cumulative process for Texas SBDC Technology Commercialization Center (TCC) clients pursuing an SBIR/STTR to access no-cost or discounted proposal development assistance from SBIR/STTR expert advisors and consultants. The Program is designed to guide clients through proposal development stages and position them to write a high-quality proposal.
