Proposal
Outline
|
We provide, for some of the SBIR/STTR agencies, a proposal outline,
formatted correctly. We include sub-sections in this outline that
are not listed in the instructions that, in our experience, we know
the reviewers often want to see.
|
We only provide this
outline for SBIR/STTR
and if we have it
already available due to work with a client. NIH, NSF and DOD SBIR outlines
are usually available for $200.

This is a broad category that provides
all of the above and below as necessary to increase your chances of
winning. We work closely with you and your staff to evaluate the suitability
of your project for the RFP, including suggestions for other RFPs
that might also be applicable for your technology. We help you with
strategy, which includes evaluation and suggestions for your key personnel
requirements, resources, consultants qualifications, budget,
research plan, graphics, feasibility plan, commercialization plan
and strategic letters of support. Several teleconferences per week
between you, your consultants, your strategic partners and/or the
agency are usually scheduled. We ensure you are using the correct
forms and help educate you and your staff about compliance issues.

We usually work with
our client to arrange a budget of 60 hours, which for a
new grant/start-up company will require extensive teamwork with company
personnel to not
go over-budget. For a company that already
has commercial products or has submitted
grants before, we sometimes come in
under budget. We
let you know mid-project, the status of the
budget so you
can provide additional
help or approve us performing the extra
work for you.

Proposal Editing

We have excellent technical writers
who make themselves familiar with the RFP to help with editing and
writing clarity. They provide an important fresh eye for
how your application appears to someone who has never seen it before
and mistakes that escape the eye of the writer. This service often
includes one or more explanatory teleconference calls and discussion
about your presentation. Some graphics assistance can be done if necessary
for clarification.
