WEBINAR Navigating SBIR/STTR (Research & Technology) Grants

February 21 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs provide an opportunity for small businesses to tap into federal funding to conduct research and development on promising new innovations and technologies.  With $4 billion available annually, the programs are a source of seed capital for early stage companies. SBIR/STTR funding can also serve as a pathway to equity financing by allowing businesses to demonstrate feasibility of new technologies and move toward commercialization.

This webinar will cover the following:

¨   Overview of the SBIR and STTR programs

¨   Qualifications and eligibility requirements for SBIR/STTR funding

¨   How to determine if your innovation is a good fit for SBIR/STTR funding

¨   How to search SBIR/STTR solicitations and topics

¨   Grants versus Contracts

¨   Difference between SBIR and STTR

¨   Steps to preparing a SBIR/STTR proposal

¨   Tips for increasing your success in securing SBIR/STTR funding
