> \-- DoD 2007.1 SBIR Solicitation Deadline Reminder
>
> The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to the Department of
> Defense (DoD) 2007.1 SBIR solicitation is 6:00 a.m. EST, January 10,
> 2007. As indicated on their website, "all SBIR Proposal Cover Sheets
> and Company Commercialization Reports must be prepared and submitted
> electronically through the DoD SBIR/STTR Electronic Submission Web
> Site <http://www.dodsbir.net/submission/>, as described in Sections
> 3.0 and 6.0 of the program solicitation. For components requiring
> complete electronic submission, technical proposals must be uploaded
> through the Submission Website."
>
> The solicitation states that "Complete submission means that the
> entire proposal (including the following four (4) parts: coversheets,
> technical proposal, cost proposal, and Company Commercialization
> Report) has been properly completed and fully transmitted to the DoD
> Submission website. The solicitation deadline is firm. As the close
> date draws near, heavy traffic on the web server may cause delays.
> Plan ahead and leave ample time to prepare and submit your proposal.
> Offerors bear the risk of website inaccessibility due to heavy usage
> in the final hours before the solicitation closing time."
>
> The Solicitation was issued for public release on November 6, 2006,
> and is available at the DoD SBIR/STTR website at
> <http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/sbir/>, or the DoD SBIR/STTR Resource
> Center at <http://www.dodsbir.net/>. If you have general questions
> regarding the solicitation or the DoD SBIR/STTR program, contact the
> Help Desk at <http://www.dodsbir.net/helpdesk/> or 866-SBIRHLP
> (866-724-7457).
>
> \-- DOC NOAA FY07 SBIR Solicitation Deadline Reminder
>
> The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to the Department of
> Commerce (DOC) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
> 2007.1 SBIR solicitation is 4:00 p.m. EST, January 17, 2007. Note that
> this is the correct time. NOAA pointed out this clarification in an
> amendment on January 3, 2007, stating that "Section 10.0 NOAA/SBIR
> Checklist inadvertently states the time of receipt as Noon. Therefore,
> Section 10.0 is changed to read as follows: Six copies of the proposal
> must be received by 4:00 p.m. (EST) January 17, 2007."
>
> The Solicitation opened on October 6, 2006, and is available at the

> \-- SBIR Proposal Writing Tip: Relevant Experience
>
> 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: Writing about Relevant Experience
>
> Copyright© 2007 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> Most of the SBIR/STTR agencies require that you include in your Phase
> 1 proposal a section in which you describe relevant knowledge or
> experience. For example, the Dept of Defense's FY07.1 solicitation
> requires section 4, "Related Work." We find that many Phase 1
> proposers misunderstand what the agency wants you to put into this
> section, so we will make it the topic of this proposal writing tip.
>
> The DOD FY07.1 solicitation instructions indicate that the "Related
> Work" section should include "significant activities directly related
> to the proposed effort, including any conducted by the principal
> investigator, the proposing firm, consultants, or others....The
> proposal must persuade the reviewers of the proposer's awareness of
> the state-of-the-art in the specific topic." There are two key points
> to be made, given DOD's instructions.
>
> First, this section should describe briefly the experience of the
> proposing team that is relevant to the proposed project. The team
> includes anyone, either the employees or consultants or
> subcontractors. Highlighted should be the work performed by the
> Principal Investigator (PI), because you want to take this opportunity
> to help sell the reviewer on the appropriateness and qualifications of
> the PI for the proposed project.
>
> Second, this section of your Phase 1 proposal is supposed to
> demonstrate to the reviewer that you know the state-of-the-art, or the
> significant contributions that others have made to this area. The
> reviewer does not want to support someone who is unaware of what
> others have done, because he/she wants you to learn from others
> experience and build on it (not to mention to avoid any pitfalls
> others have discovered).
>
> As you write this section of your Phase 1 proposal, please take the
> following into consideration:
>
> 1\. In describing your team's relevant experience, make sure that
> there is an appropriate balance. If the entire section describes what
> your subcontractor has done and says nothing about your firm, then
> that suggests you are not qualified to lead this project (or perhaps
> make the reviewer worry that your small business is only a front for a
> subcontractor that itself does not qualify as an SBIR/STTR applicant).
> The ideal is to show that the bulk of the experience is within your
> small business, with the subcontractors and consultants supplementing
> your experience with other relevant work.
>
> 2\. Within your firm's relevant experience description, you want to
> call out specifically what your PI has done. The reviewer wants to
> know why the proposed PI is the right person for the project, and here
> is one (but not the only) opportunity to showcase the PI's
> qualifications. Even if the PI acquired some of that experience with a
> previous employer or while they were still in grad school, it is
> appropriate to describe it as part of the PI/proposing firm's
> experience.
>
> 3\. Resist the temptation to over-describe the state-of-the-art.
> There's probably some really fascinating and land-mark work that you
> want to include, and it is appropriate to do so, but avoid long-winded
> descriptions. The reviewer wants to read enough to know that you are
> up to speed and up to date on what others have done. They likely
> already know the state-of-the-art, and don't need to read an elaborate
> explanation of it in your proposal.
>
> 4\. Don't be too narrow in your description of the state-of-the-art.
> Don't just cover what others have done in the area of your proposed
> innovation, and don't just cover what others have done to try to solve
> the problem you are working on \-- you need to cover both. But isn't
> this contradictory to #3 above? No, #3 says don't go into great depth;
> here, we're making sure that you offer adequate breadth.
>
> Even when you do a good job writing the "related work" section of your
> proposal, you often risk falling into one final pothole: The reviewer
> may consider all that you have described in this section, and come to
> the conclusion that you have already done the Phase I project you are
> proposing to their agency. It may be very obvious to you what is
> different between the prior work and what you now propose to do, but
> it may not be so obvious to your reviewer. Therefore, please invest a
> paragraph explaining to the reviewer how the prior work you've done,
> and the state-of-the-art work others have done, is relevant to what
> you are proposing but is different from it. You must make clear that
> there are significant innovations proposed in the new work.
