Securing Seed Funding: Support for Biotech Entrepreneurs and Researchers

Thursday, July 6, 2017, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM EDT

WEBINAR

On July 6, 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. ET, join the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and New York Academy of Sciences’ (NYAS) Science Alliance for a webinar about funding and resources for researchers and entrepreneurs focused on advancing translational research and technologies that will improve disease prevention, detection and treatment.

There are many benefits to securing SBIR or STTR funding: The capital is nondilutive, predictable and stable; it is not a loan. In addition, small businesses retain intellectual property rights, and NIH’s rigorous peer-review provides recognition, validation and visibility to early-stage companies.

There are a number of current SBIR and STTR funding opportunities for small businesses and technology transfer organizations available, including through the recently opened 2017 Omnibus Solicitation.

The webinar will feature:

  • An overview of SBIR and STTR programs and funding opportunities

  • Examples and case studies of founders of bio- and healthcare technology early-stage businesses

  • Tips and tools for applying for funding

  • Additional resources available for researchers, entrepreneurs, students and others seeking seed funding for a small business

This event is open to the scientific community and registration is required.
