When the going (funding) gets tough, the tough go shopping (for grantsand contracts).

As NIH success rates enter single digits and Angel and Venture Capital funding diminishes, small companies can apply for NIH Small Business Funds (SBIR & STTR). Hear the secrets of the $700 million NIH SBIR and STTR programs. Attending this session could be time well-spent if it helps you obtain research funds.

Learn:

  • How to decide between SBIR or STTR programs
  • What is flexible and what is not in SBIR and STTR eligibility rules
  • Success rates for NIH applications
  • Strategies for producing winning proposals
  • How to receive more than the "normal" amount of funds
  • NIH Material Transfer, Licenses, and Cooperative Agreements
  • Research and Development Agreements
  • NIH Pipeline to Partnerships (P2P)
  • Partnerships (CORP)

The workshop will be followed by
a wine and cheese/hors d'oeuvres networking reception.
