UGA Startup 101: Conflicts of Interest & SBIR/STTR Grant Roles

UGA Innovation District's "Startup 101" is a three-part series that addresses the varying skills and information entrepreneurs will need on their journey to create a startup company. Anyone interested in launching or growing a startup, or gaining insight into the startup process, is encouraged to attend.

The Startup 101 program on Jan. 24 will explore conflicts of interest and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs. Dan Runge, senior compliance officer in the Office of Research Integrity and Safety at UGA, will discuss conflict-of-interest policies and procedures for university entrepreneurs, startups and employees.

Following Runge's presentation, Ian Biggs and Tim Martin of the UGA startup program will provide guidance on effectively managing your SBIR/STTR grant as a small business. 

The event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided to those who register.

Paid parking is available in the North Campus Parking Deck. The Jackson Street Building is also accessible through the UGA bus lines.
