UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Webinar April 16

Small-business owners, entrepreneurs and startups can learn about Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) future proposals and rewards Thursday, April 16.

Jim Greenwood will lead the discussion during a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network webinar titled “SBIR/STTR Reauthorization” from 9-10 a.m. To register, go here. Registration is free. The webinar is hosted by the Wyoming SBIR/STTR Initiative (WSSI).

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 the University of Wyoming with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

After an unprecedented six-month lapse, the SBIR/STTR programs have finally been renewed by Congress. This reauthorization brings several important updates that could impact how small-business owners approach future proposals and awards.

The webinar will cover the most significant changes introduced through the SBIR/STTR reauthorization. Attendees will learn what these changes mean for their strategy, eligibility and competitiveness in upcoming funding cycles.

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.
