Hi!

Should I apply for a Direct to Phase II?

I have had many people contact me asking for help in developing a Direct to Phase II proposal. I’ll note first that not all agencies support DP2, as it’s known. Some do, some don’t and some, like DoD leave it to sub-components to decide.

However, there are a number of issues when it comes to being successful in a Direct to Phase II proposal and I tend to discourage DP2 unless it’s the ONLY approach the agency provides (some DoD components are offering topics ONLY in DP2).

What are the issues when considering Direct to Phase II?

For the rest of the post, see https://venturewrench.com/direct2phaseii/
As always if you need some help, we have an online course as well as personal coaching to help you put together an award-worthy proposal.
