Limited Time Enhanced SBIR/STTR Support

For a limited time, the Center for Biotechnology, as part of the NYS Designated Downstate SBIR/STTR Hub, is able to offer enhanced levels of support for SBIR/STTR proposal development and implementation. With support from Empire State Development, New York State companies are eligible to access services to help them learn about, develop, and execute SBIR/STTR proposals. Support during this limited time period includes:

– Access to short webinars and intensive workshops covering major federal agencies within the SBIR/STTR program
– One-on-one iterative proposal development consulting hours with SBIR experts
– Access to professional grant writing services
– Post award implementation consulting

The company's pipeline includes a capsule microbiome therapeutic designed to cure Cdiff by restoring a community of protective bacteria. Dr. Gerard Honig, CEO of Symbiotic Health, presented on behalf of the company. Stephen M. Goodman, Co-founder of Mid Atlantic Bio Angels and a partner at Pryor Cashman LLP in New York City, also a panelist at the event said Dr. Honig's pitch and responses to questions demonstrated both mastery of the competitive space and a willingness to address challenges to his analysis calmly and directly. His style, as well as his substance, exemplified the maxim that it's not just the business plan but the management that ultimately brings a company success.
