Details
An expert-led webinar to help healthtech, wearables, IOT and AI startups understand, apply for, and win non-dilutive federal funding.
Looking to fund your startup without giving up equity?
Join us this for a two-part webinar series focused on federal SBIR/STTR funding opportunities — designed for early-stage founders, particularly in healthtech, wearables, sensor and AI technologies.
Our second webinar shares insider tips on how to strengthen and polish your proposal, even if you haven’t started writing it yet. We’ll walk you through:
- What reviewers look for in strong submissions
- How to align your goals with agency priorities
- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Strategies for planning and budgeting effectively
This session includes a live Q&A.
Presenter: Laura Cobb, ScienceDocs: Laura is a Ph.D.-trained scientist with over 20 years of experience in academic medicine, biotech, and medical writing. She specializes in NIH SBIR/STTR proposals, but is also well versed in NSF proposal writing. Since 2004, ScienceDocs has provided grant writing, and pre-award and post-award administration services, with nearly $2 billion in awarded grants and contracts.
