Welcome to the Navy Transition Assistance Program^SM (TAP)

This Program has two primary objectives:

(1) to facilitate DoD use of Navy-funded SBIR technology; and
(2) to assist SBIR-funded firms to speed up the rate of technology transition through development of relationships with prime contractors and various
activities aimed at preparing the SBIR firm to deliver product. TAP is a competitive 10-month program offered exclusively to SBIR and STTR Phase II
award recipients. The program is designed to help Phase II recipients conduct preliminary strategic planning and assist them to:

* Confirm the Navy customers needs,
* Enhance the strategies for transitioning to Phase III,
* Develop a technical briefing for inclusion in the Virtual Acquisition Showcase®
* Develop a business plan or other appropriate tool(s)
* Present your opportunities at the Navy Opportunity Forum® scheduled for June 2008 to a group of over 600 high level decision makers from
prime contractors, other private sector companies, as well as various Defense Agencies. For more information on the Navy TAP Program,
please contact Lyn Barnett (585) 617-9493
