BBCetc’s From the Sources’ Mouth Series

Michigan SBIR/STTR Assistance Program invites everyone to join our monthly “From the Sources’ Mouth” series featuring SBIR/STTR program managers telling you what you need to know to have success with their agencies. Our monthly events feature a 1-hour virtual training session conducted by a federal program manager and cover their specific agency’s mission and tips for creating a successful proposal, all sessions include time for Q&A with the agency presenter. We also host a large event every fall, featuring presenters across several agencies. This series is for technology-based entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses familiar with the SBIR/STTR programs who want to learn more about proposal submission.
