Things are changing with the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Nowhere are these changes more pronounced than with the U.S. Air Force (USAF) SBIR/STTR program. It works faster, with new approaches designed to help entrepreneurs and researchers explore new opportunities with the U.S. Air Force.
Please join us for an informative webinar on the USAF SBIR/STTR program. This webinar will give you a great overview of the USAF program, prepare entrepreneurs, researchers and administrators for opportunities to compete for USAF SBIR/STTR awards. Follow-on webinars tied specifically on USAF solicitations will be held throughout the coming months and 2021.

THE NEW USAF SBIR/STTR PROGRAM - FAST AND “VENTURE-LIKE”
The most notable changes in the USAF SBIR/STTR program are a completely new approach to the majority of Phase I awards. Phase I now takes a quicker, more flexible and “venture-like” approach. This permeates the proposal, award, and work effort. This webinar will describe what has changed and what remains similar to what you may be accustomed to. We’ll discuss new strategies and approaches that can improve your chances for success in USAF SBIR/STTR proposals.
