Do's & Don'ts of the SBIR Grant Application Process

Best practices for writing your SBIR grant application, focusing on NSF and NIH.

One of the top requests for outsourced resources are grant writers. But grant writers can be hard to find and often hard for early stage startups to afford. There's no reason you can't write your own grant application, after all, you know your product and company better than anyone else! Join SBDC business consultant, Laura Beken, for a session on best practices for writing your SBIR grant application, focusing on NSF and NIH.
