Enterprise Florida, Inc. is expanding a program that helps small businesses develop strong proposals for federal small business grants.

The “Phase 0” Pilot Program provides grants of up to $3,000 which qualifying small companies can use for specific preparation efforts (e.g. market research, proposal/grant writing, legal aid for patent filing, site visits to labs, etc.)  for either Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposal submittal.  The assistance is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and eligible companies must not have received a Phase I award in the past five years.  Any company screened and recommended by an Enterprise Florida, Inc. partner organization is eligible to apply for the grant.
