The SBIR-EZ (sih-bur-easy)project, provides a web service and user interface abstraction over the Small Business Innovation Research Program suite of tools used by SBIR.gov, DoDSBIR.com and various agency tools. The intent is that users may have a uniform interface to:

• Research existing and past SBIR solicitations
• Save opportunities for later processing
• Apply to opportunities independently of the owning agency
• Track the status of applications
• Receive and send communications
• View benchmarks

Please file issues at the central repository for all Air Force Small Business repo
