The 2008 Spring Conference was held from 26 to 30 May in Orlando, FL. This event brought together SBIR Program Managers from all 11 agencies, investors, intellectual property experts and a number of SBIR support providers -- like us (only not really like us since we make the investment to go to all of these and only we offer innovative, low cost tools to help our clients WIN awards). There were only about 300 folks there with ~100 beign us SBIR groupies (always there). However, I must give loud kudos to the FL SBDC folks who pulled this thing off (they were not sure if an when it even going to happen until late March). The venue was good, the food was really good and most of the talks were information rich. There was only a small # of firms with tables/booths in the trade show (we missed that). The only important thing was really lacking was qualified people looking for SBIR's. Still, given the severe handicap of the promoters, and having to put this on over Memorial Day, it was a pretty decent show.

NINDS has posted a special SBIR & STTR solicitation (stays open to September 2008) for Translational Research to develop results that will have a direct impact on clinical intervention for a neurological disorders. This one is quite unusual as it is inviting Phase IIs (or Phase Is as part of a fast track application) only, is offering $600K two-year Phase Is and three-year $2.25 million Phase IIs. Is it any wonder the big venture capital firms want a piece of the action here?
