SBIR Online Workshop - Webinar 2: Comparing Agencies & Finding Topics

Forget the travel, stay in your local community, and learn about the federal Small Business Innovation (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funding programs. This is a comprehensive series of webinars for anyone interested in learning more about SBIR and STTR, or who wants to compete effectively for these important funding sources to develop and commercialize innovative new products and services. Webinar 2: Comparing agencies & finding topics. List of the 11 SBIR agencies and the 5 STTR agencies. Key differences among the largest agencies. The changing world of which agencies will accept proposals on “any topic” versus those with specific problems they want addressed. Why you should look to agencies other than the “obvious ones” to fund your idea. When it is OK and smart to send the same proposal to multiple agencies. Small businesses that complete three of the five workshops will be eligible for a no-cost, Technical Proposal Review by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc. The number of no-cost proposal reviews is limited, and priority will be given to WY registrants. Questions about the webinar series? Contact Kelly at 307-766-2904, Haigler@uwyo.edu
