SBIR-STTR Grants: Winning & Thriving in the COVID-19 Era

2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Zoom

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) that has the potential for commercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program, SBIR enables small businesses to explore their technological potential and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization. By including qualified small businesses in the nation's R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated.

The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) is another program that expands funding opportunities in the federal innovation research and development (R&D) arena. The unique feature of the STTR program is the requirement for the small business to formally collaborate with a research institution in Phase I and Phase II.

This event will explore opportunities that will:  

  • Discuss the criteria for success in the grant seeking enterprise in the Covid-19 era.
  • Provide support for knowledge mobilization and mentoring for the MSU community. 
  • Encourage researchers to utilize both MSU and external resources for support.

Highlights include,

  • Presentations by Richard W. Chylla, Ph.D., CLP, RTTP, Executive Director
    MSU Technologies, and Brian Mattes, 
    Faculty Conflict of Interest Officer
  • A panel discussion by
    • Joseph Affholter, Commercialization Program Director MTRAC AgBio Innovation Hub, MSU Innovation Center
