The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) launched the Indiana S4 Initiative last year to promote participation in the federal SBIR/STTR program by Indiana’s small technology business community. The Indiana S4 Initiative is a partnership composed of the IURTC, Notre Dame, the Purdue Gateways Program, Rose-Hulman Ventures and the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center.

The SBIR/STTR programs are the largest source of early stage financing for technology startups in the nation. Combined, the programs award federal grants of more than $2 billion annually.
