One North Carolina Small Business Program
This lesson is a guide published by NC Commerce.
Read the guideWhat you'll get
NC Commerce's page describes two state programs for companies going after federal research grants: one repays part of the cost of preparing a first-phase SBIR or STTR proposal, and the other matches the money of companies that win a first-phase award. Applications run through an online grants system with a new solicitation each year, and the page leaves eligibility and amounts to that solicitation, so read the guidelines before you count on it.
Do this week
Read the incentive program guidelines and write down which proposal-preparation costs it would repay and which company requirements you meet.
