Join us on Wednesday, April 21 from 12-1pm for the first of four SBIR Sprint Sessions. This session will discuss Overview and Checklist, Topic Selection, Value Proposition (SBIR 101 Basics), SBIR readiness.

The federal government seeks small high technology firms with the R&D capabilities, internal and external, to deliver a technologically advanced solution for problems. It is vitally important to understand this landscape before investing time and money to seek funding.

The FAST Center at the University of Illinois, is running a SBIR/STTR sprint, in order to enhance the number, quality, and diversity of applicants throughout the state of Illinois. Through this SBIR/STTR sprint, companies will learn what makes the process different as well as how to build a competitive proposal package. Teams will watch half hour lectures, work in collaborative workshops, and submit materials each week for review.
