Do you want to know about the biggest mistake I see a lot of startups make in their SBIR applications? And as an SBIR reviewer myself, I cringe when startups don't do this. They don't describe what does success look like when they're done with their SBIR grant. And that is so important for any startups doing an SBIR application. Describing what the successful outcomes look like in your mind helps the reviewers understand you have a clear end goal of what that looks like. Most importantly, you want to describe these successful outcomes as quantitative metrics. And when startups do this in their SBIR application, it significantly strengthens the rigor of their R&D approach. Describing your successful outcomes gives SBIR reviewers the confidence that you have thought thoroughly all the way from the beginning to the end.
