The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program provide opportunities for businesses to engage in Federal R&D and – with the right information and a solid strategy – offer a tool for funding product development. Whether you’ve invested the time and effort to engage with federal agencies through these programs in the past, have never heard of them, or have been reluctant to try, we’ll discuss successful approaches to engaging with potential partners.
In this session, we’ll cover:
• Basic information about SBIRs and STTRs
• Agencies that offer these programs
• Choosing the right topic/agency
• Forming strategic alliances
Our guests for this event have deep expertise writing and supporting the development of successful SBIR/STTR proposals for a variety of federal agencies.
• Brandon Mason, Small Business Development Center Consultant
• Ron Kaese, TEDCO, Director of Federal Programs
This MeetUp is for anyone who is:
• interested in seeking funding to develop their product
• generally interested in how the SBIR and STTR programs work
• curious about partnering with the Federal Government
We’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A so bring your questions and curiosity!
