Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants from the federal government are an excellent way to help fund pre-seed, seed, and early stage companies. The Center for Biotechnology has established our SBIR/STTR Assistance program to support emerging companies as the pursue this nuanced, non-dilutive funding opportunity.
For New York State Companies: Through a competitive application process, select participants will receive follow-on counseling via one-on-one proposal mentoring with SBIR/STTR experts. Hourly, iterative proposal development assistance will be offered on an as needed basis. If selected for follow on counseling, participants will be charged $300 program fee. Additional costs will be covered by the Center for Biotechnology. We are currently accepting applications for non-NIH programming on a rolling basis.
Any company interested in participating in our SBIR program, or any Center for Biotechnology program, must complete our intake form here. Once complete, a member of the CFB team will follow up and if appropriate, schedule an assessment call for the SBIR program.
Note: Those who will be submitting applications for the One-on-One Training must have prior experience with either a sanctioned SBIR/STTR Intensive Training Workshop or an SBIR/STTR submission and be located in New York State.
