DOD BAA/Solicitation Changes:
The Small Business Administration (SBA), through its ##SBIR/#STTR Policy Directive, purposely departs from normal government solicitation formats and requirements and authorizes agencies to simplify the #SBIR/#STTR award process and minimize the regulatory burden on small business. Therefore, consistent with the SBA Policy Directive, #DOD is announcing the SBIR 19.1 and #STTR 19. solicitations as Broad Agency Announcements.

Need help? We can develop elements of the narrative, development & alignment of goals and objectives with program narrative and/or funder expectations, budget justification, and budget in alignment with solicitation requirements. Schedule a consult call with us today.
We strongly encourage proposal preparation to begin between 90 to 60 days out from the deadline. If you are less than 30 calendar days away from the deadline and not work has been done on the proposal at all, we would encourage you to consider the next proposal deadline in the next round. 30 calendar days away from the deadline or less is not sufficient time to ensure that your accounts are set up and active and that you have a high quality and highly competitive proposal.
We work with high-growth startups and organizations that support the startup and innovation ecosystem. We build highly specific non-dilutive funding menus, provide proposal preparation services, and measure outcomes of funding through evaluation. Schedule a consult call with us HERE.
