Touted as America’s Seed Fund, the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) SBIR / STTR program provides early-stage funding to small businesses engaged in high-risk, high-reward R&D to help them develop and commercialize innovative technologies. Each year, the NSF provides more than $200 million in SBIR / STTR program awards to ~400 startups across nearly all technology areas including artificial intelligence, energy, medical devices, robotics, semiconductors and many more.
Dr. Upton will provide an overview of the NSF SBIR / STTR program, highlight what’s new in fiscal year 2025, and showcase what it takes to develop a competitive proposal to secure an award. Topics include eligibility requirements, registrations, submission timelines, project pitch fundamentals, project descriptions, budgets, post-submission activities and other tips from EGC’s 100+ years of collective experience in the NSF SBIR/STTR program.
