KU Innovation Park SBIR/STTR Boot Camp

July 24th, 2025 | 9:00am - 3:00pm ---- July 25th,2025 | 9:00am - 2:00pm

From breakthrough medical devices to renewable energy solutions, your innovative technology could be the next big thing – and the SBIR/STTR program could help make it happen. But it’s not the most straightforward process to undertake. That’s why KU Innovation Park is hosting an SBIR/STTR boot camp on July 24-25. An application is required to participate, and space is limited. 

Led by Julie Assel, one of the region’s most accomplished grant writers, and supported by the KU Innovation Park team, this hands-on program will guide researchers in the KU community through the critical steps of preparing a strong SBIR/STTR grant application. Participants will benefit from group instruction and personalized coaching as they draft and refine key sections of their proposals.

By the end of the boot camp, attendees will have developed a solid working draft to kickstart their grant submission process. Attendees should be able to attend both days of the boot camp.

*Applications are due by 5:00pm on Friday, July 11th*
