60-Minute On-Demand Webinar. Available in CD, MP4, and PDF Transcript.


or Call 1-800-303-0129 ext. 506

The academic and business worlds can benefit greatly by working together and SBIR Phase I and Phase II proposals facilitate collaboration between research institutions and small businesses. In addition, many universities and economic development organizations have specific programs and financial assistance to encourage entrepreneurship. Academic researchers can serve as consultants on small business grants, or entire labs can subcontract to small businesses. As a consultant to an SBIR proposal, you can bring real benefits and financial support for your research efforts, but you must do this within your university’s guidelines.

This Webinar will reveal what you need to know prior to entering an SBIR proposal as a consultant or collaborator, including how to manage your institution’s approach to intellectual property and conflict of interest issues.

  • Specific task and duty assignments to academic collaborators
