The SBIR and STTR Programs: A Pathway to Translational Research

Sponsored by: Product Development
Description: Technology transfer requires both good science and well-positioned companies to develop important discoveries into products and services. Yet, starting a company requires diverse resources. Commercial efforts at developing new technologies can benefit from strategic use of federal grants to support their research, gain valuable peer review, position themselves for access to federal contracts, and add undiluted capital. Learn more from an experience government program manager about the diverse opportunities for NIH funding, and hear some success stories from SBIR and STTR awardees.
