A new program, funded through a grant from the Small Business Administration, supports the development of proposals for Small Business Innovation Research (w88 sports betting app) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants.
Developed through the office of Enterprise & w88 sports betting app with its partner, Apio w88 sports betting app Transfer, the Sierra Accelerator for Growth and Entrepreneurship (SAGE) will provide training, mentoring and proposal-development support worth ,500-5,000 to qualified, selected applicants.
“The goal is to increase the number of w88 sports betting app/STTR proposals and awards in Nevada,” said Ellen Purpus, assistant vice president for enterprise and innovation in the University’s Research & Innovation division. “We are here to offer training and support.”
The w88 sports betting app is open to University faculty, staff, students and the community, and outreach to underserved populations is desired. Applicants who may not be ready and are not selected for the first round of SAGE awards will receive feedback and be encouraged to re-submit.
Open, hour-long information sessions will be held the week of Oct. 21, 2019:
- Monday, Oct. 21, 2:30 p.m., w88 sports betting app of Nevada, Reno Innevation Center—Powered By Switch, Concept Café, 450 Sinclair St.
- Tuesday, Oct. 22, 1:30 p.m., Harry Reid Engineering Laboratory, room 109/110
- Thursday Oct. 24, 2 p.m., Pennington Medical Education Building, room 16
Purpus notes faculty are quite experienced and accomplished in the development of grants that pertain to their area of research and scholarly interest, such as science, engineering, arts or humanities. However, w88 sports betting app/STTR processes call for business proposals which might be new territory for many.
“We are creating an infrastructure whereby we can help these folks understand how to craft these business- or market-oriented grants, and write them in such a way that they’ll be funded,” she said.
“We are planting seeds to support business development,” Purpus said. “Nevada is growing and diversifying its economy, and supporting smaller tech companies can go a long way toward this goal. Early-stage companies are often at a stage that they are not able to obtain investors. w88 sports betting app/STTR grants can give early-stage companies a leg up.”
