For Northwestern community members (faculty, post docs, students) who would like to learn more about non-dilutive funding from the government:

An NIH expert, Stephanie Fertig (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)) will discuss and answer questions related to SBIR/STTR grants. 

What is an SBIR/STTR?

What is the difference between an SBIR/STTR?

How do I find funding announcements for entrepreneurial resources?

How can I improve my SBIR/STTR application?

 

In addition to this seminar, Stephanie Fertig is willing to meet with investigators in one-on-one conferences which will be scheduled on a first come/first serve basis. Please email Dimitra Georganopoulou (d-georganopoulou@northwestern.edu) if you are interested.
