The accelerator focuses on how to prepare winning proposals for the National Science Foundation’s Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer program. NSF SBIR/STTR Website
The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center joins three other recipients of Federal and State Technology Partnership Program grants in hosting the Proposal Lab:
- Montana Innovation Partnership powered by Montana State University TechLink Center

There is no cost to take part in the accelerator, but spots are limited. ASBTDC will select Arkansas companies from applications submitted here.
