Join SBIR experts and the FAST (Federal and State Technology) Center of Illinois for an SBIR 101 event. This is an introductory workshop to the program (eligibility, difference between SBIR/STTR, what the program funds, grants versus contracts, participating agencies, picking topics, what to expect when preparing a proposal).
After a presentation from Kristen Parmelee, teams will have the opportunity to ask questions from the FAST team.
This program is open to all entrepreneurs in the State of Illinois seeking to access SBIR/STTR grant funding.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive programs that encourage domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the potential for commercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program, SBIR and STTR enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and provide the incentive to profit from its commercialization. By including qualified small businesses in the nation's R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated, and the United States gains entrepreneurial spirit as it meets its specific research and development needs.
