SUMMARY:SBIR/STTR 201: United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″]SBIR/STTR 201: United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)[vc_column_text text_style=”subtitle”]Wednesday\, June 12\, 2024 | 1 – 2:30 PM[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_style=”page-description”]The USDA SBIR/STTR programs focus on transforming scientific discovery into products and services with commercial potential and/or societal benefit. Unlike fundamental research\, the USDA SBIR/STTR programs support small businesses in the creation of innovative\, disruptive technologies and enable the application of research advancements from conception into the market. The STTR program aims to foster technology transfer through formal cooperative R&D between small businesses and nonprofit research institutions. \nProjects dealing with agriculturally-related manufacturing and alternative and renewable energy technologies are encouraged across all SBIR/STTR topic areas. USDA SBIR/STTR’s flexible research areas ensure innovative projects consistent with USDA’s vision of a healthy and productive nation in harmony with the land\, air\, and water. The USDA SBIR/STTR programs have awarded over 2000 research and development projects since 1983\, allowing hundreds of small businesses to explore their technological potential\, and providing an incentive to profit from the commercialization of innovative ideas.
