The Center for Innovative Technology announced the Fall 2014 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Training Schedule.
SBIR and STTR grants provide $150,000 to $1 million in early-stage research and development funding for high risk, new technology development. Eleven participating federal agencies use this program to fund early-stage technology development that will help them meet their missions.
Several SBIR/STTR events are planned for the fall. The low-cost workshops are presented by leading SBIR/STTR consultants, who work with hundreds of companies each year.
