SBRI is the easiest innovation route
Small Business Research Initiative competitions are designed for SMEs — fixed-price contracts to solve government challenges, with IP retained by the supplier.
Frame around outcomes
Public-sector research buyers care more about methodology, evidence quality and policy applicability than academic novelty.
