KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Small businesses can improve their chances of receiving federal money by sending their officials to take University of Tennessee courses.
Seminars on writing winning research proposals and learning about technology transfer are set for 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Wednesday at Pellissippi State Community College and Thursday at Nashville State Technical Institute.
The workshops are being conducted by UT’s Center for Industrial Services.
