SUMMARY:University Participation in SBIR/STTR: Pre-submission to Post-Award
DESCRIPTION:Sioux Falls\, SD – BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting Webinar: In person and virtual options \nUniversities frequently play a direct or indirect role in the development\, submission\, and execution of SBIR/STTR–funded projects. As a result\, university administrators\, faculty\, and research staff must have a clear understanding of SBIR/STTR program requirements\, while innovators and small businesses are equally informed about university policies\, procedures\, and expectations. This session will examine key considerations that arise during the development of an SBIR/STTR proposal and after it has been awarded\, from the university’s perspective. \nSouth Dakota Biotech is sponsoring a light lunch for in-person attendees in Sioux Falls\, Rapid City\, Aberdeen\, Brookings\, and Vermillion. This is a great opportunity for SD innovators to get together and network while learning more about the SBIR/STTR program. \nRegistration for in person options ends April 9th. \nIf attending virtually\, virtual registration ends 1 hour prior to the event on April 23rd.
