SBIR/STTR Mentoring Opportunity
We are inviting supplemental proposals from Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Phase II grantees who have successfully taken an SBIR/STTR project through Phase I, Phase II/IIB to the market. The grantees will serve as mentors to other small businesses that have never submitted a proposal to NSF, including those from underrepresented groups within their communities. The supplements are intended to broaden participation and to increase the diversity of small businesses within the NSF SBIR/STTR program. For more information see the "Dear Colleague Letter"...DCL.
