Minnesota Firms Only: The informational session will be an overview of the multi-week curriculum to prepare and submit a high-quality research proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.

Following the informational session, each firm must submit a NSF Project Pitch to be invited to submit a Phase I proposal. Your approved NSF Project Pitch automatically enrolls your firm into the SBIR/STTR Accelerator.

The Cohort will begin on October 13th and end December 3, 2020, or during a future submission window.

Prior to the information session, you will receive a Zoom invite.

If you are unable to join the session, the next NSF SBIR/STTR Informational Session is scheduled for Tuesday, January 12, 9 - 9:30 AM.
