Over $2 billion in STTR/SBIR grants and contracts will be awarded
to innovative small and startup technology companies this year.
Come and learn how research faculty, students and technology
entrepreneurs can access these government dollars by working
closely with small technology firms that are seeking universities
and their research faculty as STTR or SBIR partners.
In addition to an extensive overview on success strategies
for writing winning SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals, the workshop
will focus on the STTR program, which requires the collaboration
between universities and faculty that are interested in spinning
their research into innovative technology small and startup companies.
Join Gail and Jim Greenwood, experts in SBIR/STTR proposal
writing, as they provide an in-depth discussion of a simple,
yet highly effective, four-step process for developing a competitive
STTR/SBIR Phase I proposal. Also hear from university technology
transfer experts on best practices for faculty interested in
participating in startup firms that license their research.
Topics to be covered:
- Requirements for faculty and students to participate in SBIR/STTR
projects
- Comparison of STTR and SBIR: What are the roles of
faculty and entrepreneurs in each grant type?
- Best practices in writing STTR/SBIR proposals—strategies
that will increase your chances of winning both
Phase I and Phase II awards
- Goals and objectives of each phase of the STTR/SBIR grant
programs
- How to find STTR/SBIR opportunities in your
field of expertise
- Conflict of interest issues faculty should consider in working
with startup firms that license their research for product
development purposes
