SBIR Workshop
SBIR/STTR Workshop
The OBI will be hosting a 2-day SBIR Grant Writing Workshop April 9th & 10th. There will be an application process to attend this workshop, so if you are interested in being considered, please submit the application by March 20, 2018. Cost per Participant:  $75 (includes food/beverage for two days).Click here to apply.
The Federal SBIR/STTR programs award over $2.5 billion in high-risk R&D funding annually to qualified small businesses. The process is complex with a steep learning curve, but the impact of receiving millions of dollars in non-dilutive funding is worth the effort! Join SBIR/STTR expert, Becky Aistrup, of the SBIR/STTR consulting firm, BBCetc, for this informative workshop covering all aspects of writing SBIR/STTR grants focused on life science technologies. The workshop will focus on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Defense (DOD) and National Science Foundation (NSF), with detailed emphasis on NIH.
Topics covered will include:
  • SBIR/STTR basics
  • SBIR/STTR essentials for DOD and NSF, including mission, what they fund, proposal elements, and the review process
  • Preparing each section of your NIH proposal
  • Writing to meet reviewers’ expectations
  • How to plan your budget
  • Electronic submission through ASSIST
  • Information and advice on the key elements of your commercialization plan
  • Common problems and pitfalls and how to avoid them

Seeking submissions for The Academic Minue
AAC&U President Lynn Pasquerella is host of the radio segment The Academic Minute, produced by WAMC Northeast Public Radio in partnership with AAC&U. The Academic Minute features faculty and researchers from colleges and universities around the world discussing what’s new in the academy and the ways in which academic research contributes to serving the public good. In addition to being broadcast widely on radio stations around the country, each segment is posted daily on Inside Higher Ed and across The Academic Minute’s and AAC&U’s social media portals.
The Academic Minute is seeking individual submissions for upcoming segments on any topic, and campuses are also encouraged to submit ideas for “weekly takeovers” featuring five separate research segments from a single institution. Recent weekly takeovers featured research from Whitworth University, Cornell College, Lafayette College, and Purdue University (upcoming). 
Please send submissions to David Hopper at dhopper@wamc.org, and be sure to tune in daily to The Academic Minute. Thank you for considering this opportunity for public engagement.
