We are excited to see the DoD has ‘pre-released’ their next round of SBIR and STTR Broad Area Announcements (BAA’s).
SBIR/STTR Benefits
SBIR Ready: Covid Catch Up
In March 2020, CTC converted SBIR Ready from an in-person to an online professional development program.
Innovation: A language we can all speak.
Over the past quarter, the CTC has been privileged to work with the WI Air National Guard (WIANG) via our SBA Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership agreement.
Communicating with Gate Keepers
We are anticipating the next SBIR/STTR Department of Defense (DoD) topics pre-release due December 1.
CTC’s take on TechConnect
One of the most valuable activities technology companies can do is go to conferences to meet people and organizations that can help grow the company.
Are YOU Missing Out?
The Department of Defense issued their SBIR 21.3 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) topics with a final due date of October 21, 2021. THIS IS THE TIME TO CONSIDER! After September 20, you will no longer be able to work with topic managers to determine fit.
DOE Funding Opportunity Announcement Recently Issued
Cybersecurity for high performance computing systems, biological approaches for bioenergy, atmospheric measurement technology and solutions for soil and water phosphorous measurements – these are among the diverse topics included in the Department of Energy’s current call for SBIR/STTR proposals.
NSF and NIH I-corps elevate innovators
We often talk about and recommend that our clients get involved in the I-Corp programs that some of the federal agencies have. The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are the common ones our clients tend to gravitate to.
Patriot Day 2021
It was a pleasure and an honor to be invited to the Patriot Day held at Volk Field and Fort McCoy recently.
Research vs. Building or Expanding
You can use the money to build your product, but that is not the primary goal. The goal is to do research to demonstrate you can feasibly solve a problem; building the thing is just one part of the means to that end.
