Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies providing goods or services such as distributing or developing vaccines, drugs, medical countermeasures, or other goods or services may find funding opportunities with the U.S. Federal government.  Navigating the Federal Funding space can be challenging even for the most senior Pharmaceutical or BioTech company.  Federal Grant and Contracting dollars come with a host of regulatory oversight and administration that is seen by many as a barrier to entry into the Federal marketplace.  In this series, we will provide attendees with our insights gained over 50+ years of experience in this space.  

Specific areas of focus will be:  

• Introduction to Agencies involved in Life Sciences with spending data
• Overview of the regulations in Bio/Pharma contracting with the Federal Government
• Grants and Contracts funding vehicles
• Grant/Contract Pricing and development of Indirect Rates
• Unique challenges for Life Sciences firms in the Federal Marketplace

This Life Science web series is a practical guide to explaining the requirements, process, and common challenges encountered by Life Sciences companies when working in the Federal marketplace.  Understanding the compliance requirements is essential to not only winning Federal funding but also execution of the Statement of Work, maximizing recoverability and profit and proper administration. Each 90-minute session will familiarize the participant with different facets of the Federal acquisition process and build on the previous session. We offer 1.5 hours of CPE for each session.  Register for the entire series or join us for an individual webinar that suits your business needs. 

Our web series leaders, Christine Heckman-Spano and Robert Craig bring unique perspective and experience to each of the three sessions. We will share with you over 50+ combined years of experience from both our work at Life Science companies and our careers as Government contractor consultants.
