Got R&D Money? Top Tips for Funding R&D with Grants
This 90-minute offering is designed to introduce technology start-ups and existing businesses on how they might fund R&D through Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants.
This is an introduction to the topic that has been developed for companies that are new to seeking grant funds and is not a “how to apply” course. 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.
