How to Secure Grants & Tap into Stimulus Bill May 21, 2009

Applying for and receiving grants from the federal government is neither a quick or easy process. However, they are one of the most important sources of funds for the development of high risk high reward technology. This seminar will go through structuring your company mindset for the federal grant writing process, discussion of some specific federal programs, and review the nuts and bolts of submitting a grant application. Following that, there'll be specific discussion on the size and scope of the economic stimulus package as it related to clean technology companies and some specific industry sectors that will be benefiting from funds that are being made available.
