To pursue National Science Foundation non-dilutive seed funding, first you need a project pitch. A successful pitch is required to receive an invitation to submit a full research project proposal to NSF.  

The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center and the Science Venture Studio are partnering to help Arkansas innovators prepare strong project pitches. Join them for four interactive online sessions designed to equip you with the skills to craft a successful pitch for NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I funding.

Workshops will take place Mondays in August, live online.

Times for the four online workshops are 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. CDT:

Aug. 4 — Introduction, NSF Fit
Aug. 11 — Market Opportunity, Your Company, Your Team 
Aug. 18 — Your Innovation, Technical Objectives, Budget
Aug. 25 — Wrap-up, Project Pitch Submission Tips

Benefit from this step-by-step guidance on crafting each section of your pitch. By the end of the series, you will be ready to submit a competitive NSF project pitch!
