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.

SBIR Cost Accounting Day 2

August 22 |  Sheridan - 1981 Double Eagle Drive | 8 - 1:15 MST

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.  Registration
