Hello.
My name is Dusty Lang
and I work for the DHS Small Business Innovation Research Program,
and I have the opportunity to work for the best program in the federal government.
The SBIR program is a great program and allows me to work
with small businesses that have creative, enthusiastic innovators
in a symbiotic way.
We're able to partner
with small businesses to bring their innovative ideas to life.
These small businesses are in your communities
and their impact is important not only to us at DHS,
but also to our global economic security.
I really love working with very small businesses. The
the ability that they have to be innovative,
the drive that they have is amazing, and just the
the potential that that is there for their future is really exciting.
The SBIR program is really
one of the best ways that a small business
can start their engagement with the federal government.
The program is a set aside for small businesses
and allows them to really be able to highlight their innovation
and their willingness to take some risks and really push the envelope for science.
One of the things that small businesses should be aware of
is that by partnering with the DHS SBIR program,
you are really taking that opportunity
to provide an impact to homeland security.
So this is a great way for them to get started with the federal government.
Our website address is SBIR dot DHS dot gov.
There's some videos there you can click on those
and get to the whole channel of the Deconstructing SBIR webinar series.
You can also email us at STSBIR dot
program at HQ dot DHS dot gov.
On behalf of the DHS SBIR program, thank you for all that you do.
It's really been a privilege to be able to work with so many small businesses
that are really passionate about being able to help
DHS with their mission needs and protecting the homeland.
