SUMMARY:SBIR/STTR Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION:From breakthrough medical devices to renewable energy solutions\, your innovative technology could be the next big thing – and the SBIR/STTR program could help make it happen. But it’s not the most straightforward process to undertake. That’s why KU Innovation Park is hosting an SBIR/STTR boot camp on July 24-25. An application is required to participate\, and space is limited. Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday\, July 11. \n			\n				Apply here by July 11\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The basics\nThe Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are U.S. government initiatives that provide funding to small businesses engaged in federal research and development (R&D) with strong commercialization potential. These programs aim to stimulate technological innovation\, meet federal R&D needs\, and encourage the participation of socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in technological innovation. The SBIR and STTR programs encompass a broad spectrum of technologies\, including but not limited to: \n\nHealth and biomedical innovations: Think medical devices\, diagnostics\, digital health solutions and pharmaceuticals.\nDefense and aerospace technologies: That includes advanced materials\, cybersecurity and space exploration tools.\nEducation and information technologies: This covers educational software\, learning platforms and data analytics tools.\n\nEach federal agency participating in the SBIR/STTR programs identifies specific R&D topics in their solicitations\, reflecting their mission and priorities. For instance\, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) focuses on health-related innovations\, while the Department of Defense (DoD) emphasizes defense technologies. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Eligibility\nTo qualify for SBIR/STTR funding\, a business must: \n\nBe a for-profit entity with a business location in the United States.\nHave no more than 500 employees\, including affiliates.\nBe more than 50% directly owned and controlled by U.S. citizens or permanent residents.\n\n See the full eligibility criteria here. \nFor STTR\, the small business must partner with a U.S. research institution\, such as a university or a nonprofit research organization. \nEngaging with the SBIR and STTR programs can provide small businesses with critical funding to advance innovative technologies from concept to commercialization\, contributing significantly to technological advancement and economic growth. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Apply by July 11\nLed by Julie Assel\, one of the region’s most accomplished grant writers\, and supported by the KU Innovation Park team\, this hands-on program will guide researchers in the KU community through the critical steps of preparing a strong SBIR/STTR grant application. Participants will benefit from group instruction and personalized coaching as they draft and refine key sections of their proposals. \nBy the end of the boot camp\, attendees will have developed a solid working draft to kickstart their grant submission process. \nAttendees should be able to attend both days of the boot camp – July 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and July 25 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
