SBIR/STTR Series 5/8/24 - 6/12/24


4-part series by University Lab Partners to help your company write a winning SBIR/STTR proposal.

Join them Wednesdays, May 8 to June 12, 2024 from 9:00AM to 10:00AM online.

SBIRs are one of the most common non-dilutive funding mechanisms to help life science startups get started.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive programs that encourage domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the potential for commercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program, SBIR and STTR enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and provide the incentive to profit from its commercialization. By including qualified small businesses in the nation's R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated, and the United States gains entrepreneurial spirit as it meets its specific research and development needs.

Join SBIR experts from Eva Garland Consulting for this in-depth 4-part series to help your company write a winning proposal.
