Yu is a member of the WPO Monmouth County chapter and has been affiliated with WPO since 2001.

About Small Business Innovative Research Awards:
Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) is a highly competitive program that encourages small business to explore their technological potential and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization. By reserving a specific percentage of federal R&D funds for small business, SBIR protects the small business and enables it to compete on the same level as larger businesses. SBIR funds the critical startup and development stages and it encourages the commercialization of the technology, product, or service, which, in turn, stimulates the U.S. economy. Since its enactment in 1982, as part of the Small Business Innovation Development Act, SBIR has helped thousands of small businesses to compete for federal research and development awards. Their contributions have enhanced the nation's defense, protected our environment, advanced health care, and improved our ability to manage information and manipulate data. Following submission of proposals, 11 federal agencies and departments make SBIR awards based on small business qualification, degree of innovation, technical merit, and future market potential.
