Issue 32: February 12, 2008
Notice: November 2007 SBIR/STTR Seminar Attendees
Last November you attended a workshop that familiarized you with funding opportunities with the DOD (SBIR & STTR) programs. Recently, there was another DOD solicitation: http://www.dodsbir.net/solicitation/sttr08A/default.htm which is a STTR opportunity -- proposals must (by definition) involve a University or other noncommercial, research-oriented organization. The PI must be affiliated with the small business (unlike the NIH). Our center can assist with match-making to find a PI. STTR proposals typically get funded at a slightly higher percentage. I encourage you to investigate the topics and contact me if you are interested in pursuing them. After you have formed your initial thinking, it is strongly advised (when possible) to contact the Technical Point of Contact prior to the deadline (very soon). If you do call, remember, you are "selling" your technology and team so it is best to be enthusiastic, confident, etc. Best of luck in selecting a topic that complements your expertise. Proposals are due March 19th. Please contact me (tleyh@buffalo.edu or 636-2568 x23) for further assistance. Thank you!
