Your real odds
Acceptance rates are low across STTR programs, and they vary by federal agency and topic area.
Each participating agency runs its own solicitations with separate budgets and review processes, so you are competing within a specific topic, not against the whole program. Reviewers weight technical merit and commercialization plans heavily.
What it takes
Find an open federal solicitation1 to 2 days
Secure a research institution partner2 to 4 weeks
Write and submit the proposal4 to 8 weeks
Worth knowing
At least 30% of the work must be performed by your research institution partner, which means the partnership has to be substantive and documented before you apply, not assembled after the fact.
