In this concise instructional monologue, Leon Eisen, PhD presents a practical framework for accelerating any approval process—whether it’s a regulatory clearance, government research grant, certification, or contract. He advises creating a single-page document with four columns (the specific approval, the granting body, the earliest possible decision date, and the team member who will own the effort). By listing every possible option in the relevant field, selecting the one with the shortest timeline, assigning an owner within the week, and placing the submission date on the project’s main calendar, the team treats the clock as starting immediately, thereby fast‑tracking the approval.

List every option in your field: a regulatory clearance, a government research grant, certification, a government contract, Pick the one you can get fastest. Give it an owner this week and put the submission date on the same calendar as your race. The clock starts now, not when you start pitching.
