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. The federal government desperately needs entrepreneurial researchers to create jobs over the next ten years to solve the country’s economic problems, and will support those researchers that show they can do it with SBIR funding (and other new major research commercialization programs now under consideration by the federal government).
