SBIR Proposal Structure for Academic Investigators
60-Minute On-Demand Webinar. Available in CD, MP4 and PDF Transcript.
Although university faculty researchers are typically not the PIs on SBIR proposals, a strong knowledge of this type of proposal’s structure is important when collaborating with a small business. SBIR grants are highly competitive—only one in nine is awarded funding—and they are not right for every PI. Nonetheless, academic investigators play a crucial role in successful SBIR grants. In fact, some choose to start their own companies with SBIR funds.
This eye-opening Webinar will highlight the overall proposal structure, identify topics covered, explain ways to cross the academic-corporate cultural divide, and describe the NIH timeline. Whether you intend to start your own company or significantly expand your research funding with SBIR, you can gain the knowledge you need to make the decision to participate.
