Can a start-up company started by a ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºemployee apply for SBIR or STTR funding?
Yes. Keep these two things in mind:
- ÌìÃÀÓ°ÔºFaculty can’t serve as the PI of the SBIR or STTR grant and PI of the ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôºportion of the research at the same time.
- Investigators involved on the project must disclose any potential significant financial interest via FIDS.
