Your proposals are due today, Monday, February 22, 2021 by 11:59pm ET, and we’re providing a few final tutorials to review before you submit.

Tutorial 33: If I don’t win, should I get a debrief and try again?
If things don’t go as planned, what should you do? Proposal writing is a skill and learning what a potential new customer wants is an art. It takes time to learn both– so, you should not give up. This tutorial helps you walk through the next steps and see the path ahead.

Tutorial 35: Commonalities of fraud specific to the SBIR/STTR programs & Tutorial 36: What are the consequences of committing fraud in the SBIR/STTR programs
The purpose of these tutorials is to educate the applicant and define commonalities of fraud specific to Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs and explain what will happen if a small business commits fraud or other wrongdoing in applying for or carrying out an SBIR/STTR award.

As always, if you need assistance, you may contact the DOE SBIR/STTR Help Desk at SBIR-STTR@science.doe.gov or call (301) 903-5707 between the hours of 8:30 am and 5pm Eastern, Monday – Friday.
