Ratan just finished his first NIH SBIR Phase 1 grant application after a grueling process. The program had recently been reinstated in the US after poor performance, adding uncertainty to an already demanding timeline. He's relieved and planning to apply again next cycle.
Ratan, congratulations on submitting your first NIH SBIR Phase 1 application. How are you feeling?
Yeah, feeling pretty relaxed, I guess, and relieved, and also proud because it was my first time submitting the application. And as all of us know, it's a very rigorous process. And it has been like a roller coaster ride because SBIR has also not been doing well in this country. It recently got reinstated, so I think all of us were like unaware about like when and how things will pan out for SBI. So I think, yeah, mostly relieved, and then yeah, very much looking forward to applying the next cycle.
