Do you have a technology that you think has commercial potential? Not sure if your technology will be of interest to one of the 11 federal funding agencies? This 1.5-hour webinar will discuss the differences between grants and contracts in the SBIR/STTR funding agencies and how to do the “homework” by searching previous solicitations and awards. In addition, you will learn how to contact the agency representative and the importance of talking with them. The federal funding through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs can be a valuable part of the process.
