EPA is sponsoring three workshops designed to help small businesses convert environmental ideas, inventions, innovations, patents and processes into commercial environmental technologies. Two of the workshops will be held in Boulder, Colo., and in Philadelphia, Pa., and the third will be conducted over the internet. Detailed information regarding proposal development, topic areas, technical content and selection criteria will be covered. The seminars are being held as part of EPA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, an effort to help small businesses develop commercial ventures that improve environment and quality of life, create jobs, increase productivity and economic growth and improve international competitiveness of the country’s technology industry. The program is interested in pollution prevention, air and water pollution control, solid and hazardous waste management, environmental monitoring and analytical technologies. Interested small businesses are urged to attend one of the meetings or the internet seminar. On Feb. 7, EPA’s Region 8 (based in Denver, Colo.) will co-host a SBIR Proposal Preparation Workshop with the Business Advancement Center, located at University of Colorado in Boulder.

On Feb. 13, EPA will host a seminar on the internet that will describe the basics of the EPA Small Business Innovation Research program, including case studies of three 2002 solicitations, research topics and schedules, helpful information on writing a competitive proposal and winning an award.
