The poster below saw fit to make this announcement on
sci.virtual-worlds (a moderated newsgroup for VR technology). Since
it relates to SBIR, and given (*chuckle*) DoD's full-force support for
more Ada presence in SBIR funding, I can only assume the poster was in
error when forgetting to post this announcement to comp.lang.ada.
Since I'm about 5 miles away from the conference site, I'll try to pop
in for a day to see what's going on, maybe even pass out "Try Ada"
buttons if somebody sends me a bucket of 'em :-)

Science & Technology Newsgroups,
We (Foresight Science & Technology) are under contract with the
NSF and DoD to assist them in finding candidates for SBIR (Small
Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business
Technology Transfer) funding.
This task is awkward in this particular forum (newsgroups) in
that it is not research exchange, yet it is not advertisement
either. What I believe it could be categorized as is
"information exchange"; The federal government has R&D money
available, your readers may be eligible, we are informing them
of the availability of this funding.
The NSF, DoD, U.S. Small Business Administration and seven other
federal agencies are sponsoring a conference where small
business representatives will have an opportunity to meet with
federal agents and representatives from large companies
interested in funding R&D. My posting announces this conference.
If you have questions please e-mail me, I appreciate your
communication, otherwise please post the following press
release.
Sincerely,
Mary Hilts

PRESS RELEASE:
National Conference To Provide Access to Largest Source of
Early-Stage Technology Financing in U.S.
The federal government funds nearly $1 billion each year in
early-stage R&D projects at small technology companies through
its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business
Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. These programs fund R&D
projects that serve a government need and often have commercial
applications, providing:
* up to $850,000 in pre-prototype R&D funding directly to small
technology companies (or to individual entrepreneurs who form a
company); and
* up to $850,000 in pre-prototype R&D funding to small companies
working cooperatively with researchers at universities and other
research institutions.
Small companies retain the patent rights to any inventions they
develop. Funding is awarded competitively, but the process is
streamlined and user-friendly.
To facilitate participation in these programs, the National
Science Foundation, Department of Defense, the U.S. Small
Business Administration, and seven other federal agencies are
sponsoring a National SBIR Conference at the Dallas Airport
Hyatt Regency in Dallas, Texas, April 29 through May 1, 1996. At
the conference, small businesses and others will be able to meet
individually with federal SBIR and STTR program managers and
representatives from some of the nation�s largest companies
seeking partnerships with small companies.
The conference will feature seminars conducted by national
experts on topics ranging from starting and financing a small
technology company to SBIR/STTR proposal preparation and federal
procurement procedures. The Honorable Philip Lader,
Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, will
be the keynote speaker.
