Intro to SBIR/STTR Grants

Do you have a technology idea that needs research and development funding before it can become a product? 

The federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs award billions of dollars every year to small businesses doing innovative R&D — funding you don’t repay and don’t trade equity for. 

This one-hour introduction covers how the two programs differ, which federal agencies participate, who is eligible, how the phases are structured, and what a competitive proposal requires. 

You’ll leave knowing whether your idea is a fit and what your next step should be. Ideal for founders, researchers, and faculty exploring federal R&D funding for the first time.
