Description:

The SBIR sprint is a 4-week virtual workshop facilitated by the FAST program instructors to support teams in increasing the success of future SBIR/STTR proposals. By the end of the sprint, teams will understand their strengths and weaknesses regarding SBIR funding and will have a clear plan for developing a strong proposal. This Sprint will focus on the SBIR/STTR program for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The four virtual sessions as part of the Sprint will be held on June 9, 16, 23, and 30 from 12 – 1pm CST via Zoom and will incorporate the following topics:

There is an opportunity for guided follow-up sessions after the sprint for those teams who would benefit from more intensive review during the proposal development process.

These materials will be reviewed by instructors who will provide feedback on the teams’ progress to inform proposal development. The anticipated time requirement is 4-8 hours per week per team member.
