Govology: SBIR & STTR Compliance Requirements

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.

Target Audience: 

• Small businesses and startups interested in or currently participating in the SBIR/STTR programs

• Entrepreneurs and innovators developing cutting-edge technologies seeking government funding

• Researchers and technology developers applying for SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II awards

• SBIR/STTR awardees looking to understand and maintain compliance with program requirements

• Government contractors and grant recipients needing guidance on SBIR/STTR-specific regulations

• Technology transfer professionals and consultants supporting small businesses in securing and managing SBIR/STTR funding

• APEX Accelerator counselors and small business advisors assisting clients with federal funding opportunities

This webinar is ideal for anyone navigating the SBIR/STTR programs who wants to ensure compliance, protect their intellectual property, and maximize their funding opportunities.
