Federal Electronic Registrations for NIH SBIR/STTR Applications

September 23, 2026 | 1:00 – 2:00 PM | Virtual

Your NIH SBIR/STTR application cannot be submitted without the required federal registrations—and waiting until the deadline is too late. These interconnected systems require accurate, consistent company information and may take several weeks to establish or resolve. This session takes the guesswork out of the process with a practical, step-by-step walkthrough of each required registration, helping you get your company registered, validated, and submission-ready well before the deadline. Participants will learn who should be assigned key roles, how to avoid common registration and access problems, how information flows between systems, and the recommended timeline for completing each registration before an NIH deadline.
