SBIR/STTR: Learn How to Participate in Govt. Funded (Grant) Research
February 11, 2010    9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Description: Attention: SMALL BUSINESSES PERFORMING INNOVATIVE RESEARCH

Every year through SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) programs, the Federal Government awards thousands of R&D grants and contracts to small businesses performing innovative research. Learn how to capitalize on these opportunities by attending the workshop. The SBIR Program pays small R&D companies to conduct high-risk research to meet government needs. There are no strings attached. The entrepreneur doesn't have to pay back a loan; they retain the intellectual property rights and don't give up any portion of the ownership of their company and are encouraged to commercialize. Who is eligible? And how do you apply? The workshop is to learn more about SBIR and how the program is implemented in the different federal agencies.

Several participating federal agency SBIR Program Managers and other field experts will also share their knowledge and experiences.

This program's guest speakers include:
  • Dr. Oliver Murphy,
    Lynntech Corporation, Texas' most prolific SBIR/STTR Award Winner
  • James Gallup, Ph.D.,
    SBIR/STTR Program Manager, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Science Foundation (NSF)
  • Rudolph Buchel, Jr.,
    Intellectual Property Attorney, formerly with U.S. Patent Office as a senior patent examiner
To be held in Hoblitzelle Auditorium, Bill J. Priest Institute of El Centro College.
