Hi!

What’s up at the NSF! New Solicitation Missing? Coming Soon? Latest Update from NSF – Ben Schrag Webinar 4/18/24

Wow! If you haven’t looked latest at the NSF SBIR/STTR Seedfund site, you haven’t seen the craziness in the NSF solicitations.

So, what’s up?

Today, Ben Schrag shared a lot of good stuff on a webinar that will help you sort out what’s what. I’ve embedded the video below and below the video highlighted some important questions and their time slot so you can jump to a specific discussion. I’ve given short summaries, but I encourage you to listen to all of Ben’s comments as they are very helpful! And this gem at the very end of Ben’s comments…

For the rest of the post, click here.

As always if you need some help, we have an online course as well as personal coaching to help you put together an award-worthy proposal.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
