Let's Talk SBIR: Accessing the NIH/NIAID Small Business Program

Join CvilleBioHub for a free lunch & learn presentation about accessing non-dilutive funding grants from the SBIR and STTR.

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.

During this interactive session, Dr. Mike Minnicozzi will provide an overview of available non-dilutive Small Business Programs offered by SBIR and STTR, including information about budget levels, the peer review process, and NIAID-specific interests.

Lunch will be served!
