March 1, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm EST

Is your biotech idea or project a candidate for federal R&D funding through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs? The two programs award over $2.6 billion in high risk R&D funding annually to qualified small businesses. The process is complex but the impact of receiving $millions in non-dilutive funding is worth the effort!
Learn more about SBIR/STTR funding from nationally recognized expert, Becky Aistrup, SHARPhub PI and Managing Partner of the SBIR consulting company, BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting.

- Current information on the SBIR/STTR programs in general and the NIH program in particular
- How to approach each section of your proposal
- Planning your commercialization strategy
- Writing to meet the reviewers’ expectations
- Common problems and pitfalls and how to avoid them
