Before I was a reviewer for SBIR and STTR panels (both Phase I and II), I thought that every proposal had an "even shot" at being funded. Boy was I wrong. Now I don't mean there's any funny business - every proposal is given an equal chance to prove itself. But in that process, proposals certainly do not have the same odds of being funded.
I always thought that reviewers were wrestling with a big chunk of the proposals, maybe half or more, and then had to argue about which were the "highest quality" and "most deserving" of funding. I imagined a complex prioritization system!
In my experience, on a panel reviewing 10 proposals, there are usually 1 or 2 that are “fundable”. VERY rarely are there 3. All of the rest of the proposals, written by capable innovators just like you, are in the category of "Do Not Consider". These proposals are not even in the running, and the reasons they are out of the running are almost always unnecessary.
If you think you could use some helping staying out of "Do Not Consider", I would like to help.
I am also adding video summaries of my individual conversations with Program Directors from multiple agencies as I complete them. We've included sample docs, checklists and timelines to help you submit on time! And we have tutorials and summaries of all the major (and many smaller) programs
Of course, to help you improve your proposal, I walk you through the review process, help you understand how reviewers work through your proposal, what they read, and what they might NOT read, and how to help turn them from reviewers to champions!
