SSTI: Working to Provide You with the Information You Need to Succeed

SSTI serves as the TBED community’s go-to resource and strategic partner when dealing with TBED issues. SSTI’s unique ability to address the information needs of its members comes from the fact that SSTI’s staff and board have been “in the trenches” of technology-based economic development. SSTI’s president, vice president and board members, including former Governors John Engler of Michigan and Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, have more than two decades’ of direct policy development and service delivery experience.



"SSTI is my security blanket, assuring me that I am never more than a few clicks or a phone call from the latest news, information, and data in technology-based economic development issues," said Angie Godwin, president of the Area Development Partnership. "SSTI has earned its place as THE 'top of mind' clearinghouse for TBED professionals."



As a service to the S&T community, SSTI maintains a listing of science and technology (S&T) resources and adds links as they become available. SSTI's resources for S&T are arranged by eight groups: TBED-, Academic- and Government -related associations, Congress, White House, Federal Programs, and other Funding and Information resources.



Another useful online tool is SSTI's State and Local Story Index, which gives you access to stories on all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico covered in the SSTI Weekly Digest.



Our members also receive the SSTI Funding Supplement. This electronic publication provides members with application information, eligibility criteria and submission deadlines for hundreds of funding opportunities offered by the federal government and others. Members can redistribute the Funding Supplement to their constituents.
