Proposal Assistance
How can I increase my odds of getting funded?
Going after federal R&D funding is very competitive. Average success rates for SBIR awards are 16% - 19% and approximately 25% for other programs
Understanding how the process works, which agencies are best aligned with your mission, and what resources are available are the best ways to increase your overall chances.
Where should I start?
Start by attending our SBIR Readiness Series of webinars. These no cost webinars will introduce you to the programs and help you decide if the cost of proposing is worth the time and effort.
What should I be prepared for?
The typical funding opportunity will require at a minimum: The technical aspects of your innovation and what makes it novel, specifically what research is needed, a detailed Commercialization Plan, resumes or biosketches on team members, and Letters of Commitments from partners or subcontractors.
Learn more at one of our upcoming workshops.
What kind of support is available?
Crafting a awardable proposal takes approximately 4 - 6 weeks as well as a qualified team to locate and execute on opportunities. See a few options below on how Tributary Insights can help.
