Step-by-Step Help with SBIR/STTR
The Lab2Launch Accelerator is for early-stage Arkansas companies seeking a first SBIR/STTR grant or contract. The accelerator provides structured support and guidance on every aspect of preparing and submitting your proposal.
SBIR/STTR grants and contracts are a vital source of early-stage funding to help small companies pursue the commercial potential of innovative technologies. Over eight weeks, L2L-Accel covers topic selection, budget preparation, technical writing and editing, market research, and more.
Each cohort is tailored around a specific agency.
Participants attend weekly virtual meetings, complete assignments, and receive feedback, all with a goal of completing a high-quality proposal by the agency deadline.
Arkansas companies and entrepreneurs are invited to apply to join L2L-Accel and get expert assistance with the SBIR/STTR proposal preparation and submission process.
Next Cohort
The next L2L Accelerator will be in 2024. Cohort dates and application deadlines will be posted here when available.
