Over $2 billion in 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 SBIR partners.
In addition to an extensive overview on success strategies for writing winning SBIR Phase II 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 SBIR Phase II 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
