Jonesboro-based SMART Reproduction has won a $274,996 research seed grant from the National Science Foundation.
CEO Brittany Scott said the idea to apply came from a conversation with the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center that introduced her to America’s Seed Fund, the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs.
The center’s innovation consultants, Karen Bergh and Catherine Corley, encouraged SMART Repro to seek SBIR/STTR non-dilutive funding to support its innovative work.
