About this Event

Join The Brink SBDC and the Office of Innovation and Commercialization (OIC) for a hybrid SBIR Info & Advising Session designed to demystify Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding.

This workshop is offered through a partnership between The Brink SBDC at the University of San Diego and the Office of Innovation and Commercialization at UC San Diego. Listen to experienced SBIR proposal writers, learn tips and tricks for your first submission, and get answers to your burning questions about the complex world of SBIR grants.
