SBIR Phase
1 and Phase 2 Proposal Training
Two consecutive, half-day sessions — one for the novice, one for those
experienced at obtaining SBIR grants
June 6-7, 2005
Research Triangle Park, NC
Want a wealth of info about the SBIR/STTR programs in a short period of time? This could be the event for you, as a lot of information will be cover in the these two half-day seminars. Plans also call for several SBIR/STTR program managers to attend and offer one-on-one meeting time with interested participants.
On June 6 - 7th, the SBTDC will host two, comprehensive, half-day Phase 1 and Phase 2 Proposal Preparation Training sessions to be presented by the nationally recognized Greenwood Consulting Group. R&D businesses and university researchers interested in developing and commercializing innovative technologies should attend. The events will be held at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center in RTP. The Phase 1 training session will be held from 12:00 - 5:00 on June 6th and Phase 2 on June 7th from 7:30 - 12:30. As a parting gift, all attendees will receive an in depth proposal review good for one year following the event. This proposal review alone is valued far in excess of the registration fee itself.
Whether you are a rookie or a veteran of this $2B+ funding source, there is much to gain from attending this full day event. Join national SBIR experts, Greenwood Consulting Group & the NC SBTDC for a comprehensive proposal development workshop to:

The SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR programs provided over $2 billion in funding to small, innovative US-owned businesses in FY 2003. The SBIR/STTR programs are the premier funding mechanisms for early stage R&D that will likely lead to commercializable products and services. The application process is very competitive and has become even more so over the past three years given the current funding climate. Thus, being as prepared as possible when developing a Phase 1 proposal will significantly increase your likelihood of funding.
