Your journey starts with a Phase I\, but the ultimate goal is to reach Phase III where you get infused into a NASA mission and/or commercialize.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n[/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://minnesotasbir.org/event/sbir-sttr-201-nasa-2024-jan-17-2/ LOCATION:Virtual – Zoom CATEGORIES:MNSBIR Events,SBIR/STTR 201: Agency Deep Dives ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://minnesotasbir.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/MNSBIR-Program-Logos_EDUCATION.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240131T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240131T150000 DTSTAMP:20240130T175024Z CREATED:20240130T173328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T175024Z UID:10000217-1706709600-1706713200@minnesotasbir.org SUMMARY:Department of Energy: Letter of Intent- Jan 31 DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column]\n Register for Session\n Department of Energy: “Ask Us” Webinar Series\nLetter of Intent[vc_column_text]Do you have questions about preparing your DOE SBIR/STTR application?
