About this Event
Join this in-person 1.5-day in-depth SBIR/STTR Grant-Writing Course to start your journey of applying for an NIH SBIR or STTR grant. This is a hands-on course during which participants learn the particulars of each section of an application, gain an understanding of the review criteria, and finish with a Phase I grant development timeline and draft language for a specific aims page to discuss with a NIH Program Officer. The timing for this course is particularly helpful for those intending to apply through the NIH Omnibus solicitation with an April 5 due date.
PRESENTERS:
• This in-person course is provided by Life Science Works (lifesciworks.com). Our in-person presenter, Rich Giersch, has decades of experience in securing SBIR/STTR grants.
• There will be one or two former NIH leaders on the program either virtually or in-person.
NOTE: Given the in-depth nature of the course attendance is limited to 20 participants – register early!
