The federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are a source of non-dilutive funding for early-stage companies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) SBIR and STTR programs provide approximately $200 million annually to U.S. small businesses for developing and commercializing novel cancer technologies. In addition to funding, the NCI SBIR Development Center offers various commercialization resources to support small businesses in getting their products into the market.

Join to learn about:

• NCI SBIR/STTR programs
• Funding opportunities for start-ups, academic spinout companies and early-stage academic entrepreneurs (e.g., postdoctoral fellows)
• Tips for writing competitive SBIR/STTR grant proposals
• Commercialization resources for applicants and awardees

Note: Following the presentation, speakers will be available for a 20-minute, one-on-one meeting with event participants to discuss opportunities and eligibility.
