UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host Cost Proposal Virtual Workshop Aug. 4
Published July 28, 2026
Small-business owners, entrepreneurs and startups can learn how to prepare Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) cost proposals during a virtual workshop Tuesday, Aug. 4.
Jim Greenwood will lead the discussion during a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network online 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 workshop is hosted by the Montana Technology Innovation Partnership and the Wyoming Federal and State Technology (FAST) Program.
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 how to understand the key components of an SBIR/STTR cost proposal and identify allowable and potentially unallowable costs; align technical work plans with realistic budgets; establish records and accounting practices that support compliance; understand government accounting terminology; prepare for potential government audits; and review practical cost proposal and indirect-rate examples.
Small-business SBIR/STTR applicants and award recipients, as well as organizations pursuing or managing government contracts or grants, should attend.
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.
