There is an Alaska-specific topic coming out in EPA?s 2007 SBIR solicitation that opens March 15 2007 and closes May 23 2007. It will include a ?Tribes and Small Communities? with a subtopic on Alaska solid waste management and alternatives to open burning at small garbage dumps. The Technology Research & Development Center (TREND)wants to make Alaska?s environmental companies aware of this unique opportunity. The announcement has not been formerly released, but will be available at http://es.epa.gov/ncer/sbir/Â

Like many federal programs, the process to compete for this funding can be complicated. TREND is a specialty center within the Alaska Small Business Development Center and SBIR is our area of expertise. Please contact TREND to determine if this is an opportunity for your company and if you would like more information regarding the EPA solicitation and SBIR Program.
