for game-changing innovation. It is the largest federal source of seed capital
for early-stage technology businesses. If you have an idea for an R&D
project that you believe solves problems, has a strong market need, and would
have significant impact, the SBIR program may be your “go-to” funding source.
Merrie London, SBIR manager at Connecticut Innovations, will share insights
into this unique federal program with an emphasis on scope and winning
strategies. She will also provide information on Connecticut's matching grant
resources.
