“From the Sources’ Mouth” with DoD

Don’t miss your chance to hear directly from the Department of Defense (DoD), featuring the DoD SBIR/STTR Program Director, Tina Barnhill.

BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting LLC is hosting “From the Sources’ Mouth” at 10-11 a.m. CDT on Thursday, August 17.

During this event, attendees will receive valuable tips and insights on how to submit a successful SBIR/STTR proposal to the DOD with a special focus on new requirements for foreign affiliations documents. The SBIR/STTR Extension Act of 2022, along with the Small Business Administration SBIR/STTR Policy directive, introduced significant revisions during reauthorization. Understanding these updates is crucial for a compelling and compliant proposal to the DOD.

We’ll review the latest changes for submitting a DOD proposal, with a particular focus on the essential “Disclosures of Foreign Affiliations or Relationships to Foreign Countries” document. All proposals must now include this disclosure form, and any submission lacking this document will be considered non-compliant and will not be reviewed.

Join this 1-hour overview of the DOD SBIR program changes and learn, from the source, what’s needed to submit a successful proposal. Following the presentation there will be ample Q&A time with the presenter.

Register today.

The session is ideal for technology-based entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses familiar with the SBIR/STTR programs who want to learn more. New to SBIR/STTR? Please view our on-demand webinars before joining our “From the Sources’ Mouth” training sessions.
