Session 5D: How to Win SBIR Phase 1, 2 and 3
This session will provide the participants with a broad introduction to US government contracting, and an overview of the small business innovative research (SBIR) program. The session will include Phase 1, 2 and 3 descriptions and typical award amounts, how to improve the odds of winning an award, how to influence the topic description, and how to position for a Phase 2 win. The session will also look at the challenges inherent in commercializing the technology in Phase 3 and strategies to overcome these difficulties.
Presentation 1: SBIR First Principles
Navigating the SBIR maze requires patience and an understanding of the US government contracting process. This talk will provide the participants with an overview of the small business innovative research (SBIR) program, an overview US government contracting process and contract types, an understanding of Intellectual Property and Proprietary Marking requirements, the SBIR “Unique Right”, an overview of government accounting requirements and an awareness of International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which are often overlooked by small high tech companies.

Presentation 2: Preparing for Successful Commercialization of your SBIR-funded Technology
All SBIR/STTR programs require attention to commercialization in Phase I proposals. However, expectations for commercialization planning drastically increase for Phase II applications. Dr. Servo will discuss the guidelines provided by NSF, the forerunner with respect to commercialization planning. If you understand how to address NSF requirements, you will be well prepared to address the commercialization requirements of most agencies.
