Intensive SBIR/STTR Workshop: NIH Focused

Hosted by the Center for Biotechnology* with support from Empire State Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR).

Is your life science or health tech company a candidate for federal R&D funding through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) SBIR/STTR programs? The two programs award over $2.6 billion in high-risk R&D funding annually to qualified small businesses. The process is complex but the impact of receiving $millions in non-dilutive funding is worth the effort.

Learn more about SBIR/STTR funding from well-known program expert and trainer, Becky Aistrup, M.B.A., Managing Partner of BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting LLC. During this 1.5-day session focused on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Becky will cover program essentials and how to compete for funding. Training is open to the public and will include:

• Current information on the SBIR/STTR programs
• Strategies for targeting your proposal to address the mission and requirements of the NIH
• How to approach each section of your proposal
• Planning your commercialization strategy
• Writing to meet the reviewers’ expectations

Day One ends at 4:30 p.m. and Day Two ends at 1 p.m.

Space is Limited. Pre-registration is required.
