SBIR/STTR for Faculty, Post-Docs and Grad Students

Developing a new technology within a university can raise questions such as: • Who owns the technology?, • What are the requirements for being a PI?, and • Are unpaid consultants allowed on SBIR/STTR projects? Attend this webinar and learn the answers to these and other questions as well as SBIR/STTR eligibility requirements, how the SBIR and STTR programs differ from each other and from RO1’s, and how to determine if this type of funding makes sense for your technology.
