Pre-award Assurances for NIH Awardees: When Do I Get the Money?

Applying for a National Institute of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) award is the first step in the process, but being prepared for the next steps ahead of time can be just as crucial. After you’ve been notified that you’ve receive an award, but before you actually get the money, there is a lot of information that will be requested—and time is of the essence. This webinar provides details on what you’ll need to present to your NIH program officer, when and how you’ll actually get the money, and common errors to avoid. Kris Bergman, Managing Partner at BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting (BBCetc), will cover the entire process in detail so you can make sure you are prepared for the next steps. Being prepared means: • You need to have thought about and set up policies and procedures for your company’s operations • You need to put compliant accounting and time-keeping systems in place • You need to have a host of other information at the ready
