SBIR Competitive ChecklistSM
Workshops (a highly condensed version/subset of our How To Win workshop for "proposal polishing")
This 3-hour workshop is now available for those currently into, or actively planning,
proposal development. This one lays out, and discusses, the most important
competitive issues that should be addressed in order to improve your chances of winning
SBIR/STTR funding (NOTE: here you will find no basic SBIR stuff, no strategic planning, no pre
proposal preparation or marketing, no reviewer psychology and no budget development; we
simply deal with the nitty-gritty of handling some of the many competitive factors in this short workshop).
TBD 2015 at the Innovation Center in Silver Spring, MD
SPECIAL EVENTS
3-day SBIR-LabTM
The fastest, most efficient approach to a competitive application.
Complete your SBIR/STTR application under professional mentorship. This is a "hands on" consulting event -- NOT a training event. In the Lab, a handful of firms will simultaneously work under the guidance of our senior SBIR business development professionals to complete their SBIR/STTR applications in just three days (homework actually spans several weeks, but the final development effort culminates in 3 very intense days working in our SBIR-LabTM).
If interested, you must contact us first and then register at least two weeks before the event.
