Introduction

This chapter provides a more detailed review of the preparation and application process for an SBIR/STTR grant. There are multiple steps in this process, many of which may be unfamiliar to a startup team or an academic entrepreneur. These center around registering the company, the grant preparation process, and the formal review at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The content of this chapter complements that in the preceding chapter "SBIR/STTR Grants: Introduction and Overview". Some key points are repeated in both chapters in case a reader is starting with this chapter and has not read the preceding one.
