Join us for an insightful and practical webinar, “Best Practices: Tips and Tricks for SBIR and Other R&D Proposals”, where we’ll dive into what it really takes to craft winning proposals for competitive research and innovation funding. Led by seasoned expert Dr. Daniel Gisser, this session will walk you through every stage of the process—from decoding dense federal solicitations to building compelling narratives that resonate with reviewers. Whether you're new to SBIR/STTR or looking to boost your success rate, this webinar will equip you with actionable strategies to stand out in a highly competitive field.

You'll learn how to approach proposal writing as a form of storytelling and persuasion, rather than just technical reporting. Discover how to leverage templates and generative AI tools effectively, avoid common pitfalls, and build lasting relationships with program managers. We'll also cover crucial behind-the-scenes essentials—like timing, team building, and proposal management systems—to help you transition from a one-off submission to a sustainable funding pipeline. If you're serious about winning R&D grants, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
