At the end of the series, participants will be equipped and prepared to submit a proposal for SBIR or STTR funding. The bootcamp serves as an “intro” to these funding routes, and prepares you to participate in the full-day intensive workshop detailed below.

  • Agency-specific Presentations
    • Occasionally, Program Directors from granting agencies will conduct half-day seminars on specific requirements and tips for applying for funding through their agency.
    • These presentations are also followed by individual advisory meetings to receive personalized feedback on your proposal.
  • Individual Consults
    • Individual consultations are available as part of our SBIR/STTR Program, either as follow-up to the workshop or bootcamp or on an as-needed basis. Contact Rich Giersch, arcwa@lswinstitute.org, for information.
