Join us for an exclusive "From the Sources’ Mouth” session with the Department of Defense, featuring the DOD SBIR/STTR Program Director, Tina Barnhill.   During this event, attendees will receive valuable tips and insights on how to submit a successful SBIR/STTR proposal to the DOD with a special focus on new requirements for foreign affiliations documents. The SBIR/STTR Extension Act of 2022, along with the Small Business Administration SBIR/STTR Policy directive, introduced significant revisions during reauthorization.
