NSF SBIR Virtual Workshop Series

FOUR SESSIONS: MARCH 29 | APRIL  19 | MAY 10 | JUNE 14

Join us for a series of virtual workshops on the NSF's SBIR program. Questions will be answered in our virtual workshops series hosted by the Arizona Commerce Authority in partnership with Independent Platform. Attendees will learn an overview of the program, how to write a strong SBIR pitch and application to the NSF, team building and R&D planning. Workshops will build off one another to give a chronological order to steps needing to be completed to submit an SBIR proposal with companies reaching specific milestones.
