Name: NCI SBIR/STTR Programs: Informational Seminar and One-on-One Meetings with NCI Staff
Date: April 17, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Event Description:
The National Cancer Institute’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs provide critical early funding for small U.S. businesses developing innovative cancer technologies with strong potential to help people live longer, healthier lives.

Join NCBiotech and NCLifeSci to hear from NCI SBIR/STTR program directors about
  • funding opportunities for early-stage start-ups, academic spinout companies, and entrepreneurs;
  • tips for writing competitive SBIR/STTR grant proposals; and
  • commercialization resources for applicants and awardees.
Following the program, you can also arrange to meet in-person one-on-one with an NCI director to discuss your cancer technology or any questions you may have about NCI SBIR/STTR programs.  You will need to sign up in advance for a private meeting as there are a limited number of meeting slots available. If you are interested in meeting with NCI staff but are unable to meet in-person on April 17, you may contact NCI SBIR for a future, virtual meeting.
