Appendix C: SBIR/STTR and the Space Technology Roadmaps Research and technology topics/subtopics for the SBIR Program are identified annually by Mission Directorates and Center Programs. The Directorates identify high priority research and technology needs for respective programs and projects. Research and technology topics for the STTR Program are aligned with needs associated with the research interest and core competencies across NASA Centers. Both programs support a broad range of technologies defined by a list of topics and subtopics that vary in content within each annual solicitation. The following table relates these SBIR/STTR topics and subtopics to the Technology Area Breakdown Structure (TABS) in the Space Technology Roadmaps (STR). The table is organized by the OCT Technology Area level one (first column) and level 2 (third column), with the related SBIR Select subtopic description (fourth column) and subtopics ID (fifth column) listed as well. The Aeronautics area is included for completeness, though this is beyond the scope of the STR.
