Special SBIR online class creates opportunity for Faculty and Students

Posted on Wed/13/AprilWed/23/January by AZBio

Students and Faculty on the biosciences – did you know that the same federal agencies (like DOD, NIH and NSF) that funded your initial research may provide you with grants of up to $100,000 (phase 1) and $1 million (phase 2) to commercialize that very same research under the $2.5 billion federal SBIR program awarded annually.

Researchers who can commercialize research are in great demand.
