From Innovation to Impact: How to Compete for USDA SBIR/STTR Funding

USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s SBIR/STTR programs fund innovative technologies. Join Wyoming SBDC Network and Impact307 for a live conversation with Dr. Erika Kraus, USDA NIFA SBIR/STTR Program Coordinator, as she shares what has changed since reauthorization, where current opportunities exist, and what it takes to develop a competitive proposal.

This webinar will cover:

• Key updates to the USDA SBIR/STTR program following reauthorization
• An overview of USDA’s SBIR/STTR proposal process, from application to award
• Common questions applicants ask, elements often missing from proposals, and what sets the strongest applications apart, so you know exactly what to focus on
• Live Q&A with our USDA speaker

Attendees will learn how federal R&D funding can help move promising research and technologies toward commercialization. If you’re building the next big idea in AgTech, this session is a chance to ask questions, gain practical insights, and better understand how to strengthen your proposal.
