If you struggle for resources to support your R&D and are (or could be) a small business with fewer than 500 employees one source of grant funding – non-dilutive capital – to support your research could be the federal government’s
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
Winning awards in these highly competitive $2.7 billion federal programs requires strategic proposals and a thorough understanding of funding agency goals. Attend this SBIR/STTR workshop to learn:
- What type of (company) research qualifies
- To which federal agency should you apply
- How the application process works
- How to best position your application for award
The workshops will be conducted by BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting, LLC (BBCetc) which works with technology-based entrepreneurs and companies throughout the U.S. on strategies to advance their R&D efforts to commercialization.
