Research Lunch & Learn: SBIR/STTR
2026-04-08 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | https://events.ucsc.edu/event/research-lunch-learn-sbir-sttr/
Join us on April 8, 2026, 12-1 p.m. for a session led by Benjamin Legum, Director, New Venture Development. Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) grants are offered by most federal agencies to foster the translation of high-tech solutions to commercial applications. This session provides a comprehensive introduction to the federal SBIR/STTR programs that offer non-dilutive funding to help small businesses develop and commercialize high-impact technologies. Participants will learn the fundamental differences between the two programs, including eligibility requirements, the three-phase funding structure, and best practices for identifying agency-specific opportunities that align with their innovative research.
