Workshops, Trainings, and Conferences

SBIR Proposal Preparation Day 1

TBA | TBA | 8 - 5:00 MST

This session begins with a comprehensive overview of the SBIR and STTR programs, including differentiation between the two programs and significant changes that are occurring as a result of recent re-authorization. It then continues into an extended discussion of a simple but effective four-step process for developing a Phase I proposal to any of the participating SBIR/STTR agencies and concludes with a brief view of sample Phase I proposals.  

Presenter: Jim Greenwood and his wife, Gail, have been involved in the SBIR program since its inception in 1983. The Greenwoods have taught SBIR/STTR workshops in 48 states plus Puerto Rico and Washington D.C., offering training through local and regional economic development groups, universities, Federal laboratories, SBDCs, and MEPs. The Greenwoods also have taught at many of the National SBIR Conferences in the past decade, including the most recent national conferences in New Orleans, Portland, Washington DC, and Austin.

SBIR Cost Accounting Day 2

TBA |  TBA | TBA

This session delves into the perplexing world of government accounting, and the all-important SBIR/STTR cost proposal. This workshop focuses on the development of an indirect rate (aka overhead, fringe, F&A, G&A) for your company, and then how to apply that rate to an accurate and defensible cost proposal as part of your Phase I or II SBIR/STTR proposals. IF you don’t learn this stuff and try to wing it, you will make mistakes, and you will lose money.
