> \-- SBIR Proposal Writing Tip: What You Don't Say
>
> 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: Sometimes It's Not What You Say....But
> What You Don't Say
>
> Copyright© 2008 by Greenwood Consulting Group, Inc.
>
> SBIR/STTR proposal writers tend to be fairly verbose people. They tend
> to fill every square inch of space available to them in a proposal,
> within the limits of number of pages and margin widths, describing
> what they plan to do in the proposed project. Such verbosity has its
> own problems, but that's not our issue here: in our experience, a
> significant shortfall of many SBIR/STTR proposals is what is NOT said.
>
> Examples of what SBIR/STTR proposal writers do not say include:
>
> \- It is clear that the proposed PI is a full time faculty member at
> the university. The box on the proposal form that asks "will the PI
> meet the employment requirements?" (which means they can't work full
> time anywhere else) is checked "yes." Because this apparent
> contradiction is not explained, it is up to the reviewer to wonder if
> the proposer doesn't know the PI employment requirements, or plans to
> quit their tenured faculty position, or take a leave of absence, or
> ???
>
> \- The proposal includes reference to and a biography for a
> consultant. There is no money shown in the proposal budget for the
> consultant. The reviewer wonders if this is a boo-boo, or if the
> consultant really is willing to work for free and, if so, why.
>
> \- The proposal refers to some tasks being performed at the Equator or
> North Pole. The reviewer knows that all work on an SBIR/STTR must be
> done within the United States. The reviewer wonders if the proposer
> doesn't know this, or plans to ask for an exception to this
> requirement (which is not routinely granted, by the way), or if the PI
> knows something that the reviewer doesn't know about geography.
>
> \- The Phase II proposal clearly indicates that this phase of the
> project will end with a crude prototype. The commercialization
> discussion describes in glowing terms the great product that will
> appear on Wal-Mart shelves everywhere. The reviewer wonders how the
> project will get from crude prototype to great product, how much money
> it will take, and where that money will come from. And, since there is
> no mention of these important issues in the proposal, the reviewer
> wonders if the proposing company understands the issues much less has
> any ideas for addressing them.
>
> Simply put, what you don't say can hurt you as much, if not more, than
> what you do say in your SBIR/STTR proposal. And guess what? When there
> are things left unsaid in an SBIR/STTR proposal, the reviewer may fill
> in the gaps by assuming the worst. Gaps in explanations, logic, and
> project flow can cause the reviewer to think that you don't know what
> you are doing, or don't know the rules of the SBIR/STTR program (or
> that agency's nuances thereon), or haven't thought the project
> through.
>
> To avoid the unsaid things that can badly hinder your proposal's
> chance of getting funded, we recommend two things.
>
> First, get someone who has not been involved in the writing of the
> proposal to review it in draft form before you finalize and send it to
> the agency. The writer(s) often cannot see simple gaps that will be
> readily caught by this outsider. By the way, be sure to give this
> reader a copy of the agency's instructions for the proposals, as they
> may find places where you've violated or ignored those instructions.
>
> Second, when writing the proposal, keep asking yourself "will the
> reviewer understand what we're saying here?" If you keep that question
> in the back of your mind, it may help you better explain what you are
> trying to say.
