Funding Your Startup's R&D
Is your startup or small business engaged in research and development of new products and services? If so, your efforts could be eligible for the U.S. government’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
Make plans to join the upcoming March 17 webinar that will introduce technology startups and existing businesses to how they might fund R&D through Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants. This course will also offer specific directions on how to search research topics at various government agencies to determine if grants are available for your unique technology. In addition, participants will be provided a list of additional resources for assistance on how to apply for an SBIR grant.
