UA TReO - Small Business Requirements for SBIR/STTR Grants Ownership Considerations
2025-05-09 09:15 - 10:15 | Health Sciences Education Building, 435 N 5th St, Phoenix, AZ, 85004, United States
We are excited to present this session as a part of College’s Inaugural Research Week!
This session will provide an overview of small business registration processes, ownership structure, and eligibility factors related to SBIR/STTR grants. The main objective of this session is to equip PIs with foundational knowledge for forming a biotech startup aligned with SBIR/STTR requirements.

What You’ll Learn:

Importance of Company Registration: Understanding the fundamental requirements for establishing a small business is essential for applying to SBIR/STTR grants. This step is often the first hurdle for academic investigators transitioning into entrepreneurship.
Registration Processes: Principal Investigators (PIs) will be guided through the key registration steps necessary for eligibility, including obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN), a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and other essential registrations required for federal grant applications.
Ownership Structure and Grant Differences: This section will outline ownership requirements and clarify distinctions between SBIR and STTR programs. For example, SBIR requires that the Principal Investigator be primarily employed by the small business (more than 50% of their time), which may present challenges for academic PIs. In contrast, STTR offers more flexibility by allowing the PI to be employed by either the small business or the partnering research institution.

Bridging the Gap between Cancer Research and the Cancer Patient/Caregiver Seminar
2025-04-22 09:00 - 13:30 | 850 PBC, 850 N. 5th Street, Phoenix, AZ, 85003, United States
Barbara and Jack, a 33-year myeloma cancer survivor, started their 501c3 cancer charity, Arizona Myeloma Network,
AzMN© and Cancer Caregivers Education Program, CCEP© in 2004, to help other cancer patients and families like
‘theirs’. They have been providing FREE cancer information and resources for cancer patients, caregivers, and families,
with special outreach to the underserved for over 20 years. Their new Online Cancer Caregivers Education Program© is
now available and provides valuable information and resources to a broad audience in the U.S. and Canada and will soon
be available in Spanish as well.
THE MISSION: No family should face this devastating disease alone!
THE NEED: In 2025, the estimated new cancer diagnoses will be over 170,000 per month or
over 2 million for the year, across the United States.
In Arizona, that number is estimated to be over 3,500 new cases per
month.
For every cancer patient there is at least one caregiver or a ‘family’ of
caregivers.
The average caregiver devotes 40 hrs. a week to some caregiver tasks,
often while still working and caring for a family member.
