Roadmap for Innovators
Are you working on a cutting edge technology?
The SBIR Program is the initial gateway into federal R&D funding for small businesses. Learn what technical challenges federal agencies are facing and if you can provide a solution by attending one of our SBIR 101 presentations. You also can ask your SBDC advisor or visit SBIR.gov for tutorials.
Do you have a business entity set up?
Federal R&D funding is awarded to established businesses. For no cost assistance in getting your business properly registered visit SCORE.org or your local SBDC.
Are you eligible for federal contract or grants?
All federal grantees or contractors must be registered in SAM.gov. You can find no cost assistance for this registration through your state's APEX Accelerator.
What are next steps?
Get to know what federal funding opportunities look like by visiting Grants.gov.
