SBIR and Working with the Department of Defense

This webinar explores what sets the Department of Defense SBIR program apart from other agencies. We'll introduce the DSIP platform and help prospective applicants navigate the often daunting process of pursuing a DoD contract, including guidance on building an effective slide deck and a brief review of the solicitation. We'll also touch on the xTech competition series as an additional avenue for innovators. The presenter, Elliot Hoy, is the Lead Technical Advisor at Tributary Insights. He works directly with clients to develop competitive proposals and refine their messaging throughout the SBIR submission process. He holds a Master's degree in Water Science and Management and brings a decade of experience across the environmental sector, having worked in both the United States and Europe. His project background spans mine reclamation work with the Bureau of Land Management's Abandoned Mine Land program and sediment transport modeling for rivers in Northeast India. Drawing on a combined academic, industry, and IT foundation, Elliot has guided clients in securing SBIR funding and led the Phase 0 program for the FAST grant initiative in Washington.
