> The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently posted the following

>
> July 6, 2007
>
> The NIH Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) and the SBIR/STTR Program
> Office have identified a way to assist NIH licensees and SBIR/STTR
> awardees in crossing the so-called "Valley of Death" - the costly
> divide between early-stage technologies and those representing more
> intermediate stage development eagerly sought by companies. OTT joined
> with the NIH SBIR/STTR Program Office to create a virtual space where
> NIH licensees and SBIR/STTR grantees can showcase their technologies
> and product development for an audience of potential strategic
> partners, investors, and licensees. A pipeline of technologies
> available for partnering is on the OTT website at
> [www.ott.nih.gov/p2p](http://www.ott.nih.gov/p2p) as an index
> searchable by category of technology and stage of development.

> \-- SBIR Proposal Writing Tip: Competition
>
> The following proposal writing tip was provided by Gail & Jim
> Greenwood. Past SBIR proposal writing articles written by the

>
> SBIR Proposal Writing Basics: You Will Always Have Competition
>
> Copyright© 2007 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> When assessing the commercial potential of an SBIR/STTR project, it is
> critically important to consider your competition. It seems like a
> simple concept, but in reality it is a bit more complicated.
>
> First, you must realize that technical superiority may not be enough
> to beat your competition. Ask anyone who has developed a superior
> software product to what Microsoft offers\--they were superior, but
> guess who has won in the market place? Most buying decisions will rest
> on more than just technical superiority\--ease of use, cost,
> reputation, existing buyer relationships, bias, fear, and perceived
> threats to one's wisdom, are all relevant to the buying decision.
>
> Second, one of your competitors is the status quo, even if it is
> inaction. Why is this a competitor? Because humans feel most
> comfortable when they are doing what they are most familiar with. They
> know how much it costs, how to tweak it, what it can and cannot do.
> Your "superior solution" may be seen as a threat to this comfortable
> situation, so you may not be welcomed with open arms by potential
> customers.
>
> Third, you need to know who provides competing technical solutions to
> yours. This can include fellow SBIR/STTR winners (maybe someone who
> won on the same topic on which you also won), large industry, foreign
> firms, and others. With a humble and contrite heart, consider what
> they have to offer versus your product or service, and try to
> determine why their offering might appeal to the customer. By the way,
> if your competitor is already selling products/services to the market
> and you are not, they have a distinct and significant advantage
> regardless of your possible superiority, because customers have
> already invested time, money, and reputation on their product/service,
> which makes them less likely to switch over to yours.
>
> Fourth, you need to consider indirect competitors. These folks are
> sometimes harder to identify than direct competitors. As an example,
> at the turn of the 20th century, the railroads were busy competing
> with each other for freight and passengers\--they failed to recognize
> the indirect competition from the automobile and trucks, and
> eventually the airlines. They needed to be asking themselves "what do
> our customers buy from us?" The naïve answer was rail service; the
> correct answer was transport of goods and people from point A to point
> B. If they had taken this broader view, they might have seen the
> indirect auto, truck and plane competition that was emerging. YOU need
> to avoid making the same mistake, by making sure you are clearly
> defining what your customers are buying, which may be different than
> you naively assume it is.
>
> Finally, understand who makes the buying decision in your customer's
> organization. You might have a product that thrills the technical
> staff, but if the buying decision is made by a bean counter who is
> worried about profitability, you may not have a buying customer. There
> may be a difference between the user of your product/service, and the
> buyer who holds the purse strings.
>
> In the wise words of Roland Tibbetts, the granddaddy of SBIR, "Think
> as long, hard, deep and creatively about commercial applications as
> you do about the R&D effort." If you fail to put that kind of thought
> into identifying and analyzing your competitors, one of them likely
> will eat your lunch in the marketplace.
