Webinar Course on the Federal Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR): Using SBIRs/STTRs for University Startup Creation and Funding |
|
| The Research Administration office is hosting a 4-part webinar course on the federally funded Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. This course is being offered by the National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2) and will provide participants with the opportunity to learn more about the SBIR/STTR programs and how to apply for funding, with particular emphasis on how universities and university researchers can benefit.
The SBIR and STTR programs fund the initial commercialization of research and are designed to stimulate small business technological innovation and cutting-edge research. These programs are often the next step for university researchers with inventions ready for commercialization. The co-organizers of this series are Steve Ferguson, Deputy Director, Licensing and Entrepreneurship, Office of Tech Transfer, National Institutes of Health; Ali Andalibi, Program Director, National Cancer Institute; Juan Figueroa, Program Director SBIR, National Science Foundation; Clara Asmail, Program Director SBIR, NIST; and Tony Stanco, Executive Director, National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer. |
