> SBIR Proposal Writing Basics: Electronic Proposal Submission Spreads
> Across Most Agencies
>
> Copyright© 2006 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> Several SBIR/STTR agencies, including Dept of Defense (DOD), National
> Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA, have been requiring proposals to be
> submitted electronically for some time now. That trend is now
> spreading to most of the remaining agencies, including the Department
> of Agriculture (USDA), Department of Energy (DOE) and National
> Institutes of Health (NIH). We don't want to discuss the philosophy of
> a paperless society or anything like that---what we want to do is make
> sure you realize this adds an important and potentially time consuming
> effort to the process of preparing and submitting an SBIR or STTR
> proposal.
>
> The granting agencies are rallying behind the
> [www.grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/) electronic submission
> process. NIH, DOE and USDA are already requiring you to use
> grants.gov, and NSF will switch from their current "Fast Lane" process
> to grants.gov beginning with its Fall '06 submissions. The good news
> is that once you master grants.gov, that skill will be transferable to
> the other granting agencies. The bad news is that grants.gov is
> relatively cumbersome and technical, requiring a learning curve for
> many SBIR/STTR submitters.
>
> The contracting agencies appear to intend to continue to do their own
> thing when it comes to electronic submission. DOD has a process that
> can be used across all DOD components, but NASA has a different
> process. It is not clear yet what some of the smaller agencies like
> Environmental Protection Agency or Dept of Transportation will use,
> but there is no single electronic submission process that all of the
> contracting agencies are expected to use.
>
> We would like to offer several pieces of advice if you are planning to
> submit an SBIR/STTR proposal to one of the agencies using the
> electronic submission process:
>
> First, allow ample time to learn the system. The degree of difficulty
> and effort required to master each electronic submission process will
> differ, but the common denominator is that all take time to do so. Do
> not plan to finalize the proposal the day before it's due and then
> figure out how to upload it; instead, start working NOW on learning
> the system that your agency is using. Take advantage of the tutorials
> and demos that are available, ask questions of the helps desks
> associated with each electronic submission system, and ask for help
> from other firms who have a track record of successfully using the
> system you are about to use.
>
> Second, be prepared to register multiple places. Depending on the
> electronic submission system that your agency is using, you may be
> required to register your company, your subcontractors, your PI, and
> maybe your dog at one or more third party sites in addition to
> registering at the electronic submission system itself. Once again,
> you need to start learning the electronic submission system as far in
> advance of submitting your proposal as possible, and be especially
> watchful for these additional registration requirements. Some may take
> some time to register you and produce the id or account number you
> need.
>
> Third, be prepared to buy some conversion software. Many of the
> electronic submission systems require (or at least highly recommend)
> that the body of your proposal be converted to PDF format. Therefore,
> you will need to have access to it. You can buy the software, sign up
> on the Adobe website for a "subscription," have a friend with PDF
> capability do the conversion for you, or sign up for the offer on the
> Adobe website to do five PDF conversions for free. Once again, if the
> proposal is due at 6 am, you don't want to be exploring these options
> at 3:30 am---decide what you are going to do to gain access to PDF
> conversion software, and get it in place in advance.
>
> Fourth, seek out access to a high speed Internet connection. Yes, we
> know many of you already have this. But we also know of folks who
> don't have it, perhaps in part because they live in a remote area
> where such service is harder to find or use. Some of the files you
> will be downloading, creating, and sending can be HUGE, so try to have
> a plan for high speed Internet access.
>
> Fifth, print the proposal out before you send it in. Yeah, all this
> paperless stuff is great, but sometimes you just gotta print something
> to see what the heck it will look like when some administrator or
> reviewer for the agency prints it out. Just because it's going in
> electronically doesn't mean it shouldn't look pretty when it gets
> printed (and doesn't violate page limits, minimum margin widths, etc).
> As a related suggestion, email the file(s) to someone else before you
> submit it to the agency to make sure everything looks the same after
> it's been transmitted. Our experience is that conversions are pretty
> good about 95% of the time---the other 5% can lead to confusion,
> embarrassment, and other things that you don't want to have associated
> with your proposal.
>
> Sixth, make sure you know the submission process. How/when do you
> actually "send" the proposal to the agency? Can you submit pieces of
> the proposal or can you only upload it when it is finished? Can you
> submit revised versions and, if so, what is the deadline for doing so
> and what happens to the "old version?" Is there a way to remove the
> proposal entirely if you decide at the last minute that submission of
> your proposal would be "ill-advised?"
>
> Seventh, remain calm. This is going to lengthen the time it takes to
> prepare and submit your proposal. You are not going to understand
> everything the first time. You may make mistakes, get error messages,
> and maybe worse. But you are not the first person to become subjected
> to the electronic SBIR/STTR proposal submission requirement, and you,
> too, will survive. A lot of problems can be overcome if you will
> simply start the process of learning your agency's electronic proposal
> submission process far in advance of the proposal due date, since that
> will take the pressure off of you---you can afford some screw ups,
> confusion, and blind alleys if you give yourself time to overcome
> them.
