OAI offers seminar on government funding for small businesses

The Ohio Aerospace Institute will be conducting a training seminar which will provide an overview of the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs, which provides more than $2.5 Billion to small businesses each year. The seminar will also provide an overview of five agencies that participate in the program: 

 

• Department of Defense (DoD)

• National Science Foundation (NSF)

• Department of Energy (DOE)

• National Institutes of Health (NIH)

• National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

 

This seminar is intended for those seeking additional information on the SBIR/STTR programs – program eligibility (company and project), selecting the appropriate agency, meeting the expectations of the reviewers, submission timeline, and commercialization considerations. Training will include:

 

• SBIR/STTR program basics including the latest policy changes

• Details of unique DOD, NSF, and NIH requirements and how to address them

• How to find the right solicitation to align with long-term objectives 

• How to approach commercialization planning for each agency and connecting with commercial partners

 

BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting will be conducting the seminar. OAI staff will also be on hand to answer questions about their small business services to assist you with proposal development and partnership connections.

 

OAI would like to thank the Case Western Reserve University for hosting this event, which is made possible by funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration and JumpStart.

 

Breakfast pastries and lunch will be provided to the attendees.
