Learn About SBIR and STTR Funding Today
SBIR Logo
The research funding workshop series hosted by the Division of Research and Innovation continues at 3:30 p.m. today, Wednesday, Nov. 9, with a virtual session on SBIR and STTR, shorthand for two funding programs: Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer.
Join Lauren Merriman, associate director for Industry Research Partnerships, and Catherine Corley, business and innovation consultant for the Small Business Development Center, as they go over key information about the SBIR and STTR funding programs.
This session will give an overview of the purpose of these two programs, their eligibility criteria, what type of proposals are considered competitive and differences in company versus university roles in the proposal process. We will look at key features of successful SBIR and STTR proposals from the U of A. We will also hear from Keith Berry, research development specialist, who will offer an investigator's perspective on submitting SBIRs.
Any faculty and staff interested in learning more about the SBIR and STTR funding programs are welcome to attend.
All attendees are encouraged to prepare for the workshop by completing a closed topic search on the sbir.gov website. Instructions for conducting this search can be found here. Attendees should capture their search findings on the Topic Search Findings sheet and bring their results to the workshop.
For introductory information about the SBIR and STTR funding programs, attendees can also review the SBIR and STTR Fact Sheet.
