UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host Cost Proposal Webinar Feb. 27

Small-business owners can learn how to prepare Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) cost proposals during a virtual workshop Thursday, Feb. 27.

Jim Greenwood will lead the discussion during a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network workshop titled “SBIR/STTR Cost Proposals and Government Accounting” from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. To register, go here. Registration is free.

The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is hosted by UW with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Greenwood will provide information about how to prepare SBIR/STTR cost proposals and how to keep records to the government’s satisfaction when small-business owners win SBIR or STTR awards. The workshop will cover the terms, concepts and tricks necessary to put together an effective cost proposal. Attendees also will learn how to estimate an indirect rate that they can defend in negotiations.

Greenwood, co-owner of Greenwood Consulting Group Inc., is a nationally recognized trainer and proposal reviewer for the SBIR and STTR programs. He has 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 Manufacturing Extension Partnerships.
