Workshop: SBIR Faculty Seminar - June 26
When: Thursday, June 26, 2008 - 10:00 am - 12:30 pm.
Where: CAIT Auditorium, Busch Campus, 100 Brett Road, Piscataway
Directions: http://maps.rutgers.edu/building.aspx?id=1087
This seminar is intended to provide participants with an introduction to and overview of the SBIR and STTR programs followed by instruction on how to search for solicitations and topics that may fit their technologies and core technical competencies. Participants will also receive instruction intended to help them prepare competitive grant proposals. SBIR and STTR proposals are somewhat different than other research proposals prepared by faculty because the ultimate goal of the programs is commercialization of the grant developed technology. Consequently commercialization must be addressed in Phase I proposals and a commercialization plan must be submitted with Phase II proposals.
Topics include:
-Overview of the SBIR Program
-Overview of the STTR Program
-Solicitation/Topic Search and Selection
-Preparing Competitive Proposals
-Proposal Format and Structure
-Defining the Feasibility Study
-Crafting the Abstract
-Proposal Evaluation
-Introduction to Cost Proposals
Presenters:
-Randy Harmon, NJSBDC Technology Commercialization Consultant, SBIR/STTR Training Coordinator for NJCST, and co-founder of Foundations Business Development Group, LLC and
-Roger Cohen, Principal of Cohen International and an NJSBDC consultant specializing in government procurement and proposal development
