Business Oregon is calling on Oregon-based orgs to apply for the SBIR Support Program: FAST Match, a state matching program designed to help Oregon compete for federal funding that strengthens the state's innovation pipeline. The selected org will lead Oregon's pursuit of the U.S. Small Business Administration's Federal and State Technology Partnership Program (FAST) grant, with Business Oregon providing $100-150k in matching funds contingent on a successful federal award.

Applications must be submitted as PDF files to Danielle Alexander at [email protected] by 5PM PST on May 26, 2026. Read full RFA:https://www.oregon.gov/biz/Publications/SBIRSTTR/25-27/FAST/SBIR_FAST_RFA_2026.pdf

Note: This RFA is contingent on SBA offering the FAST program in the same structure as previous years. If SBA does not offer FAST grants, Oregon is not eligible, or the program structure changes, the RFA may be cancelled and no awards made.
