NIFA's Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs offer competitively awarded grants to qualified small businesses to support high quality research related to important scientific problems and opportunities in agriculture that could lead to significant public benefits.
The programs’ Phase II funding opportunity, which is only open to previous Phase I awardees who have not already applied for a Phase II grant, focuses on continuing the research and development undertaken in Phase I with a goal of commercialization — bringing the innovation to market as the Phase II project completes.
In this webinar, program staff provide an overview of the programs' Phase II and discuss details included in the Request for Applications (RFA). Time was reserved to respond to audience questions.
