Proof  Your Proposal: Grant Proposal Office Hours for Life Sciences, BioTech and MedTech

Refine your proposal today so grant reviewers don’t reject it tomorrow.

Submitting an SBIR, STTR, or SBA grant application with hidden flaws, vague narratives, or weak commercialization strategies is a fast track to a rejection letter from agencies like the NSF, NIH, or SBA.

Proof Your Proposal is a targeted, high-impact office hour series designed to give startup founders, academic researchers, and entrepreneurs the constructive feedback their grant proposals need before official submission.

Bring your project summary, preliminary pitch, or core proposal narrative, and let’s pressure-test it together in a collaborative, environment.

What to Expect

• Fatal Flaw Identification: Spot narrative gaps, unaddressed technical risks, or weak commercialization strategies before real reviewers see them.
• Refined Value Propositions: Translate complex lab-bench R&D into a clear, compelling proposal that aligns with federal funding priorities.
• Direct, Actionable Feedback: Get real-world guidance on what agencies like the NSF, NIH, and SBA actually look for—and how to make your application stand out.
