> \-- SBIR Reauthorization Compromise Passes Senate Committee
>
> On July 31, 2008, the Senate Committee on Small Business and
> Entrepreneurship passed a Senate version of the SBIR/STTR
> Reauthorization Act of 2008 (S. 3362). The bill will now be addressed
> by the full Senate \-- likely after they return from recess in
> September.
>
> The Senate bill provides a compromise to the House bill that was
> passed in May. Some of the items in the bill include:
>
> \- Reauthorizing the SBIR program for 14 years and increase award
> set-asides for agencies' R&D budgets from 2.5 percent to 3.5 of
> percent over ten years.
>
> \- An increase in award sizes for Phase I to \$150,000 and Phase II to
> \$1 million with the ability to exceed the guidelines by a maximum of
> 50%..
>
> \- Firms majority owned and controlled by multiple VC companies can
> compete for up to 18 percent of the HHS SBIR funds. All other agencies
> would only be allowed to apply for such authority up to 8 percent of
> their SBIR funds.
>
> \- Elimination of the House's proposal to allow businesses to bypass
> Phase I and go directly to Phase II.
>
> A copy of the Senate bill is available courtesy of Rick Shindell at
> the SBIR Gateway:
> [www.zyn.com/sbir/insider/s3362_bill.pdf](http://www.zyn.com/sbir/insider/s3362_bill.pdf).
> The latest issue of the SBIR Insider Newsletter which contains
> additional information of the latest reauthorization developments will
> likely be posted soon at <http://www.zyn.com/sbir/>. The Small
> Business Technology Council also has a summary of the latest Senate
> bill at <http://www.nsba.biz/content/1920.shtml>.

> \-- SBIR Proposal Writing Tip: Increase Your Chance of Success
>
> The following proposal writing tip was provided by Gail & Jim
> Greenwood. Past SBIR proposal writing articles written by the
> Greenwoods are available on the Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
> (GCGI) web site at
> [http://g-jgreenwood.home.att.net](http://g-jgreenwood.home.att.net/).
>
> SBIR Proposal Writing Basics: 3 Words That Increase Your Proposal's
> Chance of Success By 10%
>
> Copyright© 2008 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> Yes, there are actually three words that can increase your SBIR/STTR
> proposal's chances of being awarded by 10%. They aren't even big or
> obscure words, so it should be easy to grasp them: Follow The
> Instructions.
>
> Of course, we're referring to the instructions found in the current
> solicitation (also known as a "funding opportunity announcement" or
> FOA among some agencies) for the agency to which you are sending your
> SBIR/STTR proposal. How can following these instructions increase of
> your proposal's chance of success? Because roughly 10% of proposals
> received by agencies are thrown out because they fail to comply with
> their instructions.
>
> Too many SBIR/STTR proposers get so focused on the innovation and
> technical content of their proposals that they neglect this simple but
> critically important part of the proposal preparation process. Others
> assume that their great ideas and dazzling teams will cause agency
> reviewers to "overlook" their failure to comply with the agency's
> proposal instructions. The fallacy with this latter assumption is that
> clerical or administrative personnel, who frankly may not understand
> or care about your nifty innovation, first screen your proposal to
> make sure it meets minimum standards (i.e., follows the instructions)
> before the proposal ever gets a review for its technical content and
> merit.
>
> "Not a problem," you say, "because I have been submitting proposals to
> this agency for years, so I know their instructions like the back of
> my hand." That's fine, but ignores an important fact: agencies change
> their instructions over time. For example, NASA used to make the Phase
> I briefing chart "optional," whereas the new FY2008 solicitation
> states that it is "required." And what about the Department of
> Homeland Security? Their Phase I award maximum was \$100k, then they
> changed it briefly to \$99.9k, and now it is back to \$100k---and all
> those changes occurred in less than a year's time!
>
> Maybe you feel you're too busy to focus on such details. Perhaps you
> are so familiar with the agency's instructions that you don't think
> you'll notice "minor" changes. Then there's a very simple thing you
> can do to help ensure that your proposal doesn't get tossed out
> because of a "nitpick." Give the draft proposal and the latest
> agency's solicitation/FOA instructions to someone who has not been
> involved in drafting the proposal, and ask them to look for any
> inconsistencies between what you've written and what the agency
> requires. Anyone who is a stickler for detail, or who is very critical
> of you (maybe a teenager in your household, or your mother-in-law),
> may catch something that, if not corrected, could put your proposal in
> the ol' circular file.
