Lunch & Learn: NIH SBIR Workshop
This is a hands-on Q&A session. With the next NIH SBIR deadline approaching on September 5, 2026, this working session is designed to give early-stage life science founders the ultimate pressure test one month before submission.
To get the most out of this hour, you should have a working first draft of your application or your Specific Aims page ready. Our alumni expert, Kumar Subramanian, will be answering your direct questions and addressing real-time bottlenecks. Whether you are struggling with budget expectations, reviewer perspectives, navigating Grants.gov, using AI to support your review, or figuring out how to build a relationship with an NIH program manager, this is your space to get answers.
