Other NIH, SBIR/STTR Resources & Links:
- Please be reminded that you should reach out to and start working with an IPart Sponsor as early as possible in advance of considering SBIR/STTR federal proposal submission. Building a strong working relationship with our economic development assistance professionals is essential for NOT ONLY preparing a good SBIR/STTR proposal, BUT ALSO to getting the appropriate assistance for your business and technology growth!
- SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL EARLY, if POSSIBLE to allow yourself a chance to address any mistakes or “flags” that may prevent your proposal from being accepted through the submission process and may take a few days for you to receive.
