SBIR Consulting - Research
To be successful in the SBIR/STTR Programs you must do your research.
There are several types of Research that must be accomplished during the SBIR/STTR Process. Some takes place before you start your SBIR Phase I Proposal. Even more is required if you are selected for a SBIR Phase II. And before you can put together a successful Transition Plan, you must do a lot more.
The first rule is to determine what you don't know. Here are some steps to follow:
Prior to SBIR Phase I submission:
- Who will my competition be? What have they done in the past?
- Is it possible that your competition influenced the abstract you are bidding?
Prior to a SBIR Phase II submission:
- Can I complete all of the requirements by myself?
- If not, how do I locate a good subcontractor?
- What do I know about Transition?
- Can I write a good Transition Plan?
- How do I find a Program of Record for Transition?
Ready to Transition to a SBIR Phase III:
- How do I find the funding?
- To whom should I Transition?
- How do I get a SBIR Phase III Contract?
