The Arrowhead Center SBIR/STTR Accelerator (ACSA) program - tailored for the Department of Energy (DOE)  - is a 12-week cohort-based program that offers real-time support for small businesses preparing an SBIR/STTR proposal package. Drawing on the resources and expertise of NM FAST, ACSA will provide cohort participants a guided, structured track of support from registration to submission. During the course of the 12-week program, participants will receive guidance on areas such as preparing their Letter of Intent, preparing an accurate budget, and creating a complete proposal package that adheres to all DOE requirements.

This iteration of the ACSA program requires participants to be an active client in the New Mexico Clean Energy Resilience and Growth (NM CERG) cluster [https://arrowheadcenter.nmsu.edu/program/nmcerg/]. If you are not already a part of NM CERG, you will be on-boarded into the program, which is designed to assist clean energy technology companies in reaching commercial success.
