Opening FreeMind’s 2017 webinar series is an introduction to the SBIR and STTR mechanisms which account for over $780,000,000 awarded per year by NIH alone. These are excellent sources of funding aimed at promoting R&D activities of US-based small businesses as well as collaborations with Academics.
SBIR/STTRs differ from traditional NIH mechanisms in that they are highly product driven and ultimately are seeking commercialization of novel therapies, diagnostics, devices, etc.
In this webinar we discussed process for applying, guidelines, key success components and insight into increasing chances for award.
