Learn about SBIR Grant Funding for Tech Start-ups on Sep. 17

On September 17, 2010, Congressman David Wu will host a Funding Innovative Research conference at Portland Community College’s Rock Creek campus to bring together Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant program managers from six federal agencies and researchers from around the region.  If you're a technology entreprenuer and you're not familiar with the SBIR and STTR programs, you should consider attending.

At $2.5 billion, SBIR comprises the largest source of federal investment in small business research and development.  These funds don't involve either debt or equity.   This is grant money, and it can be a great way to fund research and commercialization of technology.
