An Introduction to SBIR/STTR Funding Mechanisms
This webinar is the first in a series dedicated solely to discussing the SBIR/STTR funding mechanisms.
In 2018, the NIH will grant approximately $1B in awards within the SBIR/STTR framework. SBIR/STTR, also known as ‘America’s Seed Fund’, is an excellent source of non-dilutive funding, with the goal of promoting the R&D activities of US-based small businesses as well as collaborations with academics.
SBIR/STTRs are different from traditional NIH mechanisms in that they are product driven and ultimately seek the commercialization of novel therapies, diagnostics, medical devices and more.
In this webinar we will discuss process for applying for SBIR/STTR, application guidelines, key components for success, and insights into increasing chances for award.
