Led by experts from BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting, join our live Virtual Classroom for an interactive, 2 day SBIR/STTR workshop. We’ll review the basics including program purpose; eligibility; and sources of funding. Then we’ll provide proposal prep essentials of the NIH, NSF and DOE programs. In addition to up-to-date information on the SBIR/STTR programs, we will cover:

- NIH and NSF grant mechanisms and where to find them

- How to find the program officers, how to approach them, what questions to ask

- How to do research using the web tools available (eReporter, SBIR.gov, etc.)

- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them, and much more.




Workshop registration fee: $25.00. Please register online: https://cfbsbirtrain2021a.eventbrite.com. 

*Stony Brook University Faculty/Staff/Students may attend workshop at no cost – please contact Kate Hutchinson (kate.hutchinson@stonybrook.edu)  for details. 



Workshop is produced by the Center for Biotechnology at Stony Brook University and in partnership with Columbia Technology Ventures. The Center for Biotechnology also offers a follow on One-on-One Proposal Counseling program via a competitive application process.

                    [post_content] => Traverse Biosciences has announced that it has secured $500,000 in convertible debt financing to support operations and advance product development efforts. The seed financing was led by Excell Partners, with matching funds from a number of individual accredited angel investors. The Research Foundation for the State of New York (RF/SUNY) also participated in the financing, as part of an exclusive license and option agreement executed last year that gave Traverse Biosciences access to the relevant intellectual property for use in animal and human health.

Traverse Biosciences, which began when CEO Joseph Scaduto was serving as a BioEntrepreneur-in-Residence for the Center for Biotechnology, is working to commercialize its proprietary library of Stony Brook University invented chemically-modified curcumins for the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions and cancers affecting humans and animals.
