How to Win SBIR/STTR Awards
 
This seminar provides two days of information presented in just one day covering everything from Strategic Planning with SBIR to Doing the Pre Proposal Homework to Phase I and Phase II Proposals to Government Contract Cost Accounting and Proposal Development. Moreover, it provides the applicant's perspective of SBIR/STTR (different from the government's). This workshop literally trains attendees "How to Win Funding" not just "How to Write Proposals". Only 1 out of 9 applications wins funding; this workshop will teach you how to be the one. Two major universities have evaluated this workshop and both argue that the value received is more than $500 per person --The presenter provides 100% guaranteed satisfaction.

NOTE: Due to material's depth and need for personal attention, this workshop is limited to 25 attendees.

Speaker(s): John Davis, General Manager, SBIR Resource Center
 
Location: John M. Clayton Hall, Newark
Date: Thursday, October 1, 2009
