SBIR/STTR Proposal Preparation Workshops

CTNext and BBCetc are kicking off 2023 with TWO SBIR/STTR workshops – with a special focus on NIH proposals on January 18 and NSF proposals on January 19!

Get expert assistance to help secure federal funding for your business through National Science Foundation (NSF) or National Institute of Health (NIH) grant applications. These workshops will be particularly of interest if your company falls into the following industries: biomedical, behavioral science, computer science, engineering, and social sciences.

Connect directly with our SBIR/STTR workshop facilitator– Megan Varnum, Ph. D., a Principal Consultant at BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting. Megan brings a wealth of experience in leading biological technologies on the path to commercialization, including experience with the NIH and NSF proposal preparation and receiving an SBIR grant award from the National Cancer Institute.

Join us at Quinnipiac University’s North Haven campus for live insights, exclusive best practices, and interactive Q&A sessions to help your company receive a federal grant award. Aside from this valuable two-day training, attendees can expect free parking and complimentary fare throughout the day.
