Two corrections in my talk.
1. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was signed in 1996. The last US test was in 1992.
2. FMS24 will be the 18th annual event, not the 17th.

Great video! Have you done any lessons learned about successful BAA funding?

[@ChannelScience]

Thank you for the comment! While I don't have a specific talk on lessons-learned about government funding, there are some suggestions offered at the end of this presentation. In particular, slide 52 lists several top sources of SBIR funding; slide 53 emphasizes the need to start early and to try just about any idea just to learn the process; and Slide 54 points out the free proposal training support DOE offers. These are great places to get started. Good luck!
