> \-- 2007 Tibbetts Awards Program
>
> The ninth Tibbetts Awards program is underway. As indicated on
> [www.tibbettsawards.org](http://www.tibbettsawards.org/):
>
> "Named for Roland Tibbetts, the person acknowledged as the father of
> the SBIR program, these prestigious, national awards are made annually
> to those small firms, projects, organizations and individuals judged
> to exemplify the very best in SBIR achievement.
>
> The emphasis is on recognizing those accomplishments where, in the
> judgment of those closely involved and often most immediately
> affected, the stimulus of SBIR funding has made an important and
> definable difference.
>
> In selection for Tibbetts Awards, the focus is primarily on:
>
> \- Economic impact of technological innovation
>
> \- Business achievement and effective collaborations
>
> \- Demonstrated state and regional impact and proven support"
>
> Nominations will be accepted until July 15, 2007. The Awards
> Presentation Ceremony will take place on October 10, 2007 in
> Washington, DC. Registration for the presentation ceremonies will open
> soon. Visit the website above for details.

> SBIR Proposal Writing Basics: Writing Your Own Topic (sort of) at NIST
> SBIR Program
>
> Copyright© 2007 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> This time last month, we were not even discussing the National
> Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as an SBIR agency, since
> its FY07 SBIR budget was so limited that they decided to only award
> Phase 2 proposals this year. However, NIST's SBIR program has
> returned, and with a very interesting twist. Because it may represent
> a new and different opportunity for you in the SBIR program, we
> decided to focus on the FY08 NIST SBIR program in this article.
>
> NIST plans to have two Phase 1 SBIR solicitations in FY08. The first
> will be along the lines of what they've had in the past: fairly
> specific topics on which they want only proposals that clearly and
> consistently address the needs and problems specified in the topic.
>
> The second solicitation will be based around NIST-held patents that
> you and your fellow SBIR competitors want to further research and then
> commercialize. However, you will need to find the patent of interest
> BEFORE the solicitation is assembled so that the patent can be
> specified in the solicitation. Therefore, over the next several
> months, you need to check NIST's website
> ([http://nist.gov](http://nist.gov/)), and seek out the list of
> NIST-held patents. Scan it over, highlight any that look interesting,
> and then follow up with the researcher who generated the IP behind the
> patent to see if this looks like something you want to pursue. Make
> sure to do at least a back-of-the-envelope assessment of the potential
> Phase III commercialization opportunity so you are assured of pursuing
> something with a payoff.
>
> Then, if you are still interested in this patent, contact the NIST
> SBIR program office to indicate your interest. You probably will
> iterate with them a few times, and then with a bit of luck, the patent
> you're interested in will appear in the NIST 2nd FY08 solicitation to
> be issued around October 15th. You will then prepare your proposal,
> using all the juicy information you gleaned while checking out the
> patent and its Phase III potential, and be prepared to negotiate both
> a contract and a licensing agreement to the patent if NIST selects
> your proposal for funding.
>
> There are several important features to this NIST initiative:
>
> 1\. You select the technology. NIST is basically asking you to suggest
> a patent of theirs that you think has Phase III commercialization
> potential. This is not the way that NIST usually does things: as a
> contract agency, they usually tell you what topics they want you to
> propose solutions for. With this greater flexibility comes good and
> bad: you get to decide what has merit, but you also have to make a
> greater effort to ferret out a NIST patent with commercial potential.
>
> 2\. You have to do a lot of homework before the solicitation is
> prepared. This is a very unusual situation in which NIST wants you to
> search through its patents, find something that interests you, and
> then contact them to explain why that patent should be included in
> their special solicitation. We often encourage SBIR/STTR proposers to
> begin work on a proposal before the agency's solicitation comes out,
> and that advice is VERY relevant here.
>
> 3\. You will still have competition. We envision competition to come
> in at least three places in the special NIST solicitation. First, you
> will compete with other companies to get the patent in which you are
> interested included in the solicitation. Therefore, you must be
> prepared to convince NIST that the patent you're interested in has a
> high chance of commercialization success and otherwise is worthy of
> NIST support. Second, once the patent you like is spelled out in the
> solicitation, anyone can submit a proposal on it. Therefore, your
> proposal has to be well done to show that you have the best
> opportunity to perform the Phase I and II research and ultimately
> commercialize the technology. Finally, your proposal will have to
> compete for NIST's limited SBIR funding. NIST is one of the smaller
> SBIR agencies, and therefore will only be able to fund a limited
> number of proposals under this special solicitation. Your proposal
> needs to make a compelling case for why it should be a priority use
> for those limited funds.
>
> This special NIST solicitation provides a unique opportunity for SBIR
> companies. Just make sure that NIST's interests and goals are
> consistent with yours, in terms of the types of projects that they'd
> like to see come out of this solicitation.
