SUMMARY:NSF I-Corps: How to Leverage I-Corps for SBIR
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″]\n	\n		\n\n\n			\n	\n\nNSF I-Corps Hub Great Lakes Region[vc_column_text] \nHow to Leverage I-Corps for SBIR – Pathways to Impact\nJune 5\, 2025 | 12:00 – 1:30 PM CT| Virtual[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Workshop Description \nNow that you’ve completed an I-Corps course and conducted 20-30 customer discovery interviews\, what’s next in your customer discovery and commercialization journey? Non-dilutive SBIR/STTR funding may be a consideration. The government’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs make over $4 billion in high-risk\, non-dilutive capital available to innovative small companies annually\, but you have to propose a clearly defined R&D project that helps de-risk your technology in preparation for commercialization. \nThis virtual SBIR Webinar will provide an overview of the SBIR/STTR programs and how you can leverage your knowledge gained from customer discovery to build a compelling SBIR/STTR proposal. In this interactive workshop\, we’ll learn how to use data from customer discovery to come up with 1-3 clearly defined Technical Objectives related to product development for a Phase I application. The SBIR Webinar will also go over how to use data from market research and customer discovery to determine your quantitative metrics for success. \n[/vc_column_text]\n		Register\n							[/vc_column][/vc_row]
