NSF SBIR Interactive Workshop – Missouri S&T – Rolla, MO
This day and a half in-person workshop is designed to assist technology start-ups or businesses and university researchers developing a startup, that have a breakthrough technology, in learning how to apply for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) to fund their R&D. This hands-on workshop is led by Ed Lahue, MBA, an innovation & technology counselor with 40 years in innovation and marketing and Dr. Veronika Redmann, a consultant/grant writer, entrepreneur, and NSF reviewer. It is an extensive “how to apply” course developed for companies that have a unique breakthrough technology that is NSF grant worthy. This course will offer specific directions on how to prepare a competitive NSF Phase 1 submission. This includes how to articulate your technology as it relates to customer problem solving, necessary market research, project team make-up, crafting a strong technical approach, and budget considerations. The workshop includes breakout sessions so that participants can apply these principles.
Lunch will be provided on the first day and will follow a standard American diet. However, if you have any dietary restrictions, please bring your food or plan to leave for lunch.
Fee: There is no cost, as the $99 Fee is covered by the Missouri SBDC FAST grant.
