Webinars will start in November, 2024 after the DHS SBIR Pre-solicitation has been released.
The DHS SBIR pre-solicitation is typically released in November. It is recommended that you register for all of the webinars to take advantage of the pre-solicitation period. An early start will help you schedule your time to meet the proposal submission date for the DHS Phase I solicitation, which is typically due in January.
