Now that the SBIR/STTR programs have been reauthorized, we have a clearer picture about how we can capture a greater percentage of SBIR funding to the state of Arizona. We’ll cover: Brief orientation to the SBIR/STTR programs, why they matter for Arizona innovators, and what participants will walk away with. We’ll talk about why SBIR is essential for deep-tech technology transfer, and what kinds of companies are a fit for what agencies. Clear walkthrough of Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III; agency differences (NSF, DoD, NIH, DOE, NASA, etc.); eligibility rules for small businesses and research institutions; typical award sizes and timelines; and the role of STTR partnerships. We’ll reveal the Arizona SBIR Roadmap, and how to set your company up for a successful SBIR submission.
