Planting Seeds for Success Under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs

Your local APEX Accelerator and the National APEX Accelerator Alliance (NAPEX) are excited to host the upcoming DCAA webinar – Planting Seeds for Success Under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs.

 

Each year, the federal government awards over 5,000 contracts totaling well over $3.2 billion for SBIR/STTR programs. Join DCAA to learn more about these programs and how your company may benefit from these types of contract awards. During the presentation, we will define DCAA’s role, outline DCAA audits applicable to these programs, communicate ways small businesses can prepare for audits, and discuss resources available for small businesses. Key takeaways for this webinar include: gaining an understanding of how these programs are designed to stimulate high-tech innovation, meet federal R&D needs, foster entrepreneurship, and encourage small businesses to engage in research with commercialization potential – bridging the gap between basic science and market-ready products.
