SBIR/STTR Phase I & II Grant Workshops at the UCF Business Incubator in Volusia County. Small businesses engaged in Research & Development (R&D) may be eligible to access these government dollars through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. SBIR provides early-stage research and development funding to small technology companies or individuals who are interested in forming a company. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, researchers and students are invited to attend. These two separate workshops will provide an extensive overview of the different phases of these two part federal programs, as well as an in-depth discussion of a simple, yet highly-effective process for developing a competitive Phase I and Phase II proposal. The workshops will review all important commercialization aspects of the proposal.
- Phase I Proposal Preparation Workshop - Wednesday, April 26, 2017
- Phase II Proposal Preparation Workshop - Thursday, April 27, 2017
Attendance of the workshop will include a FREE proposal review from Jim Greenwood who has been a reviewer for Federal Agencies many times. This saves you the $450 for Phase I Proposal review or $700 for a Phase II Proposal review.
About the SBIR/STTR Program:
Annually, more than $2.5 billion in government grants are awarded exclusively to small businesses to encourage Research & Development (R&D) of innovations with potential for commercialization. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization. Since the UCF Business Incubation Program (UCFBIP) began in 1999, over 180 Phase 1 & 2 awards totaling over $50 Million have been awarded through the SBIR/STTR Program to small businesses engaged with the UCFBIP .
Small businesses, as well as university researchers and students, are eligible to access these government dollars through this program. SBIR provides early-stage research and development funding to small technology companies or individuals who are interested in forming a company. STTR is a similar program that requires small businesses to team up with a nonprofit research entity, such as a university.
