SBIR/STTR Phase I & II Grant Workshops: Learn How To Prepare a Winning Proposal for Your Business

Small businesses engaged in Research & Development (R&D) may be eligible to access these government dollars through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Known as "America's Seed Fund", the SBIR/STTR programs provides access to R&D funds to stimulate technological innovation. The program can help individuals and small businesses, interested in or performing research, by providing access to grant funds to support proof of concept and prototype development with the goal of moving successful technologies into the commercial market.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide an extensive overview of the different phases of these two federal programs, as well as an in-depth discussion of a simple, yet highly-effective process for developing a competitive Phase I and Phase II proposal. The workshops will review all important commercialization aspects of the proposal and provide valuable resources and sample proposals. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, researchers and students are invited to attend.

About the SBIR/STTR Program:

Annually, more than $2.5 billion in government grants are awarded exclusively to small businesses to encourage Research & Development (R&D) of innovations with potential for commercialization. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization. Since the UCF Business Incubation Program (UCFBIP) began in 1999, over 180 Phase 1 & 2 awards totaling over $50 Million have been awarded through the SBIR/STTR Program to small businesses engaged with the UCFBIP .

Small businesses, as well as university researchers and students, are eligible to access these government dollars through this program. SBIR provides early-stage research and development funding to small technology companies or individuals who are interested in forming a company. STTR is a similar program that requires small businesses to team up with a nonprofit research entity, such as a university.
