In this FAST CAST, we interview Michelle Duttle, Contract Administrator in the Office of Grants and Contracts at New Mexico State University. We talk with Mickey about items small businesses need to know when working with a Research Institution on their SBIR or STTR proposals, understanding the timelines that Research Institutes have for getting documentation to small businesses for their submissions, and other aspects a small business might not be aware of when they look for subcontracting partners.
