The Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program is a highly specialized form of funding to perform Research and Development (R&D) that addresses the nation's scientific and engineering needs. These needs span the technology spectrum from aviation and agriculture to medicine and manufacturing. Learn about how:
- Solicitations are released periodically from each of the agencies,
- A company can compete for funding by submitting proposals,
- The technology meets the needs of the agency's solicitation, and
- What resources are available for assistance with the SBIR program.
Any small business, institution or individual looking for growth opportunities through technology-based R&D should attend. Call 274-7232 to pre-register or e-mail to ancap1@uaa.alaska.edu. No Fee.
