UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host Technical Cost Proposal Webinar July 16

Small-business owners can learn how to prepare Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) cost proposals with technical descriptions during a daylong webinar Wednesday, July 16.

 

Jim Greenwood will lead the discussion during a FAST Collaborative proposal lab webinar titled “Crafting Winning SBIR/STTR Cost Proposals: A Deep Dive into Technical Project Descriptions” from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. To register, go here. Registration is free. The webinar is co-hosted by the FAST Collaborative of Wyoming, New Mexico and Montana FAST programs.

 

The Wyoming Small Business Development Center (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 a brief overview of SBIR/STTR, agency differences and a grant versus a contract; how to decide the focus of a proposal; how to find innovative solutions; proving the feasibility of a proposal; defining tasks to achieve the aims and objectives of a proposal; and fleshing out a proposal with biographies, budgets and foreign relationships.

 

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.
