We cannot afford to let innovative ideas fall by the wayside because small business owners c an't access the money they need to perform research and develop and comm ercialize new products. \;\n \;\nAt more than $2.3 billion per ye ar\, the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technolog y Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs comprise the largest source of federal s upport for technological innovation in the private sector. Awardees can receive critical support for projects from early stage R&\;D through commercialization. \;\n \;\nPlease join me and other small busin ess owners\, researchers\, venture capital representatives\, and others at a one-day conference with key SBIR/STTR program managers to learn mor e about opportunities for funding your small business and to discuss upc oming changes to the SBIR/STTR program. \;\n \;\nCongressman Davi d Wu presents: \;\n \;\nFunding Innovative Research: Small Busines s Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STT R) Programs \;\n \;\nWhen: Tuesday\, August 11\, 2009 \;\n  3\;\nWhere:OHSU South Waterfront \;\n 3303 SW Bond Avenue\, Portland \;\n \;\nWhat:Panel dis cussion and breakout sessions with key SBIR/STTR program managers \;\ n \;\nPresenters from agencies including the National Institutes of Health\, National Institute of Standards and Technology\, Department of Energy\, Department of Defense\, and others will discuss how to develop a successful application for SBIR/STTR funding. Topics will include: 3\;\n \;\n·What are each agency's priorities for research topics? 3\;\n \;\n·What criteria does each agency use to select awardees? \;\n \;\n·What can applicants do to make their proposals more competi tive? \;\n \;\nThe afternoon session will include opportunities t o talk in small groups with program managers\, past and current SBIR gra ntees\, and prospective applicants. I hope you will take advantage of t his unique opportunity to learn more about this important funding resour ce for small technology businesses here in Oregon. \;\n \;\nIf y ou plan to attend\, please RSVP to Kelly Brooks at kelly.brooks "\;a t"\; mail.house.gov or 503-326-2901.\n\nTags: ostartupskey\, cluster _key\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250457465 SUMMARY:Funding Innovative Research: SBIR/STIR Conference LOCATION:OHSU Center for Health & Healing: 3303 S.W.
