In this segment, the presenter explains that SBIR grant reviewers assess not only the scored criteria but also a set of non‑score review criteria when applicable. These include study timelines for clinical trials, protection of human subjects, inclusion of women, children, and minorities, biohazard safety, vertebrate animal use, and related documentation. Reviewers also comment on the nature of the submission—whether it is a resubmission, renewal, or revision. Additional considerations may be raised if the proposal involves collaboration with foreign entities, selection of specific agents, a resource‑sharing plan, authentication of key biological or chemical resources, and the overall budget and project support.

It's also important to know that there are also some non-score review criteria that reviewers are also required to evaluate if applicable for your application. And some examples of this could be a study timeline if you're proposing to do a clinical trial, protection of human subjects, inclusion of women, children, minorities, biohazards, vertebrate animals, and maybe even other documents as well. Reviewers may also make a comment or two if your application was either a resubmission, a renewal, or revision application. And finally, there might be some other additional considerations that reviewers may comment on depending whether you have proposed to collaborate with foreign entities, have selected agents, have a resource sharing plan, authentication of key biological or chemical resources, and finally the budget and project support.
