> \-- NIH SBIR CAP and Niche Assessment Program Announcements
>
> The NIH recently posted the following pair of announcements regarding
> their SBIR Niche Assessment and Commercialization Assistance Programs
> on their Small Business Funding Opportunities website
> (<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/sbir.htm>):
>
> NIH Announces the Availability of an SBIR Niche Assessment Program for
> Phase I SBIR awardees in FY 2006 and FY 2007
>
> NIH has contracted with Foresight Science and Technology to perform
> Technology Niche Analyses (TNA™) for 150 NIH SBIR Phase I awardees who
> received awards in fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The TNA™ will assess
> potential uses of the technology and result in a report that addresses
> the end-user needs, current and emerging competing technologies, the
> market dynamics, and the technology's competitive advantage. (NOTE:
> This program is not available to STTR awardees.) For a full
> description of the program, check the NIH Guide Notice NOT-OD-06-089
> (<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-089.html>).
>
> Expanded Opportunity to Participate in the NIH SBIR Commercialization
> Assistance Program (CAP)
>
> NIH has become increasingly aware that the market size for many
> healthcare media companies is growing significantly and is attracting
> increased interest from investors and industrial partners. The goals
> of the CAP align with the current state of the market for these
> companies, so NIH has expanded the opportunity for healthcare media
> companies to participate in the program. NIH will now accept
> applications from all NIH (not CDC or FDA) SBIR (not STTR) Phase II
> awardees (grantees and contractors) with projects active in fiscal
> year 2001 to the present. Those only seeking the identification of
> customers are still considered not appropriate. Applications must be
> submitted by August 16, 2006.
>
> All selected participants will be notified by August 25. A detailed
> program description is available at
> <http://www.larta.org/nihcap/NIHCAP-ProgramDescription.pdf> and to
> apply, please complete the application available at
> <http://www.larta.org/nihcap/>. Also review the notice placed in the
> NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts
> (<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-081.html>)
> that was released July 10, 2006.

> The following proposal writing tip was provided by Gail & Jim
> Greenwood. Past SBIR proposal writing articles written by the

> (GCGI) web site at

> SBIR Proposal Writing Basics: Writing Less Takes More Time
>
> Copyright© 2006 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> Those of you who have perused the Department of Defense's latest SBIR
> solicitation (FY06.3) already know this, but for everyone else here's
> a heads up: The Air Force has decided this year to participate in two
> solicitations. For as long as we can remember, USAF has only been in
> one DOD SBIR solicitation per year, so this represents a significant
> departure from the past. Certainly this is good news for those of you
> interested in making USAF one of your customers.
>
> If you are going to submit a Phase 1 proposal to the Air Force, please
> note an important requirement in their instructions: your proposal is
> limited to 20 pages (versus the long-time norm among USAF and most
> agencies of 25 pages). This requirement is found in the USAF-specific
> instructions at the start of their portion of the DOD FY06.3
> solicitation; all DOD components have such requirements that
> supplement (and take precedence over) the general DOD proposal
> instructions found in the front of the solicitation.
>
> "Great," you say regarding the Air Force 20 page limit, "that means I
> will save some time because I don't have to write as much." Sorry, it
> probably is not going to work that way. Good writers know that it
> usually takes longer to write shorter documents (including proposals)
> than lengthy ones. Words have to be chosen very carefully, complicated
> sentences have to be simplified, hard decisions have to be made about
> what to omit from the proposal without lessening its competitiveness.
>
> Some advice as you write your 20 page maximum Phase 1 proposal to Air
> Force:
>
> First, plan to include on your proposal team an editor who can go
> through the draft proposal and cut out needless redundancies, rewrite
> unnecessarily lengthy and complicated verbiage, and generally sharpen
> up the proposal.
>
> Second, consider using the on-line cost proposal form, rather than
> doing your own spreadsheet following the old DOD format specified in
> the solicitation. The on line form, regardless of how many pages it
> takes to print, only counts as one page. It also is designed for
> SBIR/STTR proposals, whereas the old DOD format is a generic one.
>
> Third, note that DOD counts any attachments (except the Company
> Commercialization Report) towards the page limit, so be very judicious
> about including them. For example, if you have 2 letters of support
> from potential customers or strategic partners, keep them brief and
> put both on one page.
>
> Fourth, before you start writing, set a budget for the number of pages
> you will include in each section of your Air Force proposal, and then
> stick to it. Here is a suggestion on how we would allocate our 20 page
> limit to the required sections:
>
> Cover sheet 1 page
>
> Abstract 1
>
> ID/significance 2
>
> Technical Objectives 1
>
> Work Plan 4.5
>
> Related Work 2
>
> Future R&D 1
>
> Commercialization strategy 2
>
> Key personnel 2
>
> Facilities/equipment 1
>
> Subcontractors/consultants 1
>
> Support for similar work .5
>
> Cost proposal 1
>
> This might be adjusted for a particular proposal; for example, if you
> have no subs or consultants on your project, then the 1 page saved
> there could be moved to Key Personnel to more thoroughly show you have
> all the required expertise in house.
>
> Best of luck to all of you submitting proposals under the FY06.3 DOD
> solicitation. And don't forget to contact the topic author before the
> black out period begins on September 13, 2006.
