Sierra Accelerator for Growth & Entrepreneurship (SAGE)
SAGE works with inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs to:
- determine if an idea or business qualifies for the SBIR-STTR programs,
- find appropriate and available SBIR-STTR research grant opportunities,
- navigate the complex world of the government grant process, and
- help write the best possible proposal.
SAGE is a statewide program offered through the University of Nevada, Reno, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and APIO Innovation Transfer (APIOiX). The program is funded by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
If you’re located in southern Nevada, visit the SAGE South portal to submit your business idea.
