OK Catalyst
Also called: OKCatalyst, Oklahoma Catalyst, SBIR help Oklahoma, SBIR assistance, STTR help
A free statewide program that helps Oklahoma small businesses and research teams apply for federal SBIR and STTR funding. The University of Oklahoma's Tom Love Innovation Hub runs it, with support from the US Small Business Administration and OCAST. Discussed in the Techlahoma Slack as offering a virtual introduction to government contracting and SBIR and STTR in 2025.
For example: A founder planning a first SBIR application asks OK Catalyst which federal agency fits the technology and gets the draft reviewed before sending it.
