Find out how the government’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs can provide a source of R&D funding between the initial development of your innovative idea and proof that it has potential in the marketplace. The two programs make over $4 billion in high-risk, non-dilutive capital available to innovative small companies annually!

This 90-minute interactive webinar will explore what it takes to successfully apply for an SBIR/STTR grant. We'll review eligibility requirements, participating agencies, the differences between SBIR and STTR, common misconceptions and more.
