Stacy L. Chin says NIH SBIR applicants targeting January 5, 2027 need to start now. Register with SAM and eRA Commons first, collect partner information early, and begin writing before the holidays. A competitive proposal cannot be rushed in two weeks.
Are you aiming for the NIH SBIR deadline on January 5th, 2027? If so, you need to be starting application like right now. Yeah. First, let's talk about registrations. This is the least exciting part about an SBIR application, but it's one of the easiest ways to completely derail an SBIR proposal. If this is your first time applying, you need to make sure that your company has all the required federal registrations and accounts in place. Second, you probably need information from other people to submit the application. And this is one of the key components of preparing a proposal that many founders dramatically underestimate. Third, if you actually want to enjoy your holidays, start writing like yesterday. A competitive SBIR application is not something I recommend throwing together in 2 weeks.
