In this presentation, Elizabeth Nelson will provide a high-level overview of the federal Small Business Innovation Research & Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs. These programs provide non-dilutive funding for small businesses bringing new innovations to market. They often provide early investment into high-tech start-ups and can be leveraged to build research collaborations with university faculty. Join us to learn the basics of the program, including eligibility, the application process, and tips for developing a successful application. Elizabeth will also provide information on the Florida High Tech Corridor Matching Grants Research Program, a valuable funding source for local companies collaborating with USF or UCF faculty.
