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.
