Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP)
• CPP was created in Sec 252a of FY06 National Defense Authorization Act – Identify and accelerate transition of SBIR developed
technology
– Allows 1% of SBIR budget to administer CPP
• CPP reauthorized as CRP by amendment in Sec 5122 of the FY12 National Defense Authorization Act – Supports both SBIR and STTR Programs
– Increased reporting requirements
Air Force Approach: “Boots on the ground” with Transition Agents

CRP Goals and Objectives
• Goals
– Identify and accelerate technology transition to the warfighter
– Facilitate transition of SBIR and STTR programs
• CRP processes and procedures throughout AF customer base
– Establish the use of SBIR/STTR technologies as a normal course of
business
– Enhance connectivity among SBIR firms, Major Defense Contractors
(MDC), and AF Centers
• Objectives
– Increase and track all CRP transition plans
• Achieve 20% of previous year awarded Phase IIs in funded SBIR
Technology Transition/Maturation Plans (STTP/STMP)
• Increase and track CRP facilitated SBIR technology transitions

Operations AF Approach to Facilitate Commercialization
• Identify and Verify Customer, Need & Technology
– Facilitating topic alignment with PEOs
– Support Technology Interchange Workshops
• Data mine DoD SBIR/STTR databases
– Workflow and Data mining Tool
– Continuous Phase II portfolio transitioning
• Provide Guidance
– Air Force Transition Process Guide
– Center Level Implementation Guides

Operations STTP and STMP
Transition Agents facilitate STTP and STMP documents that highlight a plan by identifying:
• All critical stakeholders (roles & responsibilities)
• Current Technology Readiness Level / Manufacturing Readiness Level (TRL/MRL) of SBIR Phase II technology
• TRL/MRL levels required for transition
• Financial strategy
• Intellectual Property (IP) protection
• Risk mitigation
Fundamentals of a Transition Effort include: Customer Defined Need SBIR technology that meets the need

Operations Lessons Learned and Best Practices
• Rapport and direct involvement with AF customer
base is essential
– Having “Boots on the Ground” is vital
• Ensuring necessary collaboration
– Implementing process is time consuming
– Requires continuous attention
• Early and effective participation by the system
integrator or major defense contractor
– Integration of SBIR into overall strategic planning process
• Rapid Innovation Fund complements SBIR transition
• DoD Component CRP collaboration is beneficial
