OC LIFe aims to connect industry with entrepreneurs and strengthen the life sciences community.

Join them Wednesday, April 26 from 5:00PM to 8:00PM at The Conference Center @ UCI Research Park, 5301 California Ave, Irvine, CA 92617.

SBIR Success Stories

Non-dilutive funding is always valuable to startups and SBIR awards are attractive options for life science founders.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive programs that encourage domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the potential for commercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program, SBIR and STTR enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and provide the incentive to profit from its commercialization. By including qualified small businesses in the nation's R&D arena, high-tech innovation is stimulated, and the United States gains entrepreneurial spirit as it meets its specific research and development needs.

Join this month's OC LIFe to hear from the successful recipients of the SBIR grant as they share their experiences. Grant expert, Laura Cobb from ScienceDocs, will discuss what is new and what has changed. Are temporary measures from the last two years over? Are there more funding opportunities than ever?
