For many innovative small businesses and startups, an SBIR or STTR award is their first government contract or grant. However, these programs come with unique compliance and certification requirements that differ significantly from standard federal procurement processes. Understanding these rules is crucial, as non-compliance can jeopardize award eligibility, lead to false claims sanctions, or result in withheld payments.

This webinar will provide clear guidance on SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II compliance, covering proposal submissions, award determinations, and ongoing regulatory obligations throughout the funding agreement lifecycle. Attendees will also gain actionable strategies to protect their SBIR/STTR data and computer software from unauthorized use outside of the government.

Join us to ensure your business stays compliant, maximizes funding opportunities, and safeguards its intellectual property while navigating the SBIR/STTR programs successfully.
