We understand that getting familiar with how the Department of Defense, Department of Air Force, U.S. Air Force SBIR / STTR program, and small businesses and university partners operate and collaborate can be daunting. To ease your understanding of this landscape, APEX is designing a comprehensive online curriculum to understand each of these entities and how they work together. The initial tranche of over 20 videos that focus on Getting to Phase One in the U.S. Air Force SBIR / STTR process is scheduled for release by December 31, 2020. APEX will advertise how to access these free resources, check your knowledge and understanding and get prepared for moving into learning activities targeting Phase II, Phase III and beyond. When completed, the curriculum will provide an opportunity for users to be certified in the U.S. Air Force SBIR / STTR process. Also, modules will be developed such that users can find out more about a specific topic, such as technology transfer, intellectual property, preparing for Pitch Day, etc., of interest on a 24/7 basis.
