Eligibility criteria

To qualify for a no-cost license, internally funded IR&D projects must be doing only pre-commercial research or pre-award development. Allowable uses include development of demonstrations, proofs of concept, bids, statements of work and proposals.

Government-funded research must be under an initial phase of a small-business program such as an early-phase SBIR.

Licenses are provided to Universities for non-profit, educational use by full-time students and professors. This includes research and classroom applications. See the University Program overview for more information on RTI's no-cost University licenses.
