Fall 2010
 Join us this fall for a variety of SBIR and Technology Commercialization education events. SBIR webinars will offer basic information for those new to the SBIR program. Our full-day and multi-day Phase 1 training sessions will provide you the information you need to draft a competitive proposal. University SBIR sessions will provide university researchers an opportunity to discuss the specifics of using SBIR/STTR for spinning out technologies for the university session. Technology Commercialization sessions half-day workshops seek to discuss the options university researchers have as they engage in the technology commercialization process. The sessions will also cover the factors that need to be considered when beginning to prepare for these opportunities.
