The Tibbetts Awards were initiated by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration in 1996 as an annual program to give national recognition to the achievements of the federal SBIR program. It is now managed by the Office of Technology.
The U.S. Small Business Administration is the lead sponsor for the Tibbetts project. Disclaimer

For 1998, the SBA is joined in sponsorship by the Small Business Technology Coalition.

Other supporting organizations to this year's effort are currently being recruited. As these important companies and organizations are added, they will be added to this listing here.
