How To Prepare Successful NSF SBIR Phase I Funding Proposal Documents

This brief video presentation provides information about preparing winning National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase Funding Proposal Documents, i.e, a 3-Page Project Pitch and a 15-page Phase I funding proposal. The presentation is designed for small firms and startups seeking a direct seed investment into their companies to produce a novel, marketable, problem-solving health or medical technology.

The presentation is based on Eighteen Ventures' successful experience helping small firms and startups prepare winning NSF SBIR Phase I funding proposal documents. In particular, it illustrates how Eighteen Ventures' prepare effective documents using eight business development components. Slides 8 through 11, in fact, demonstrate where the components are placed in a 3-Page Project Pitch and a Phase I funding proposal. This approach helped Sterile Geeks VR, a startup MedTech based in Jacksonville, FL, win a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I $255K new technology development seed grant in 2022 with Eighteen Ventures' assistance.

After preparing their approved NSF SBIR 3-Page Project Pitches, Eighteen Ventures is now working with Eido Innova, a Brownsville, TX small emerging medical technology firm, and Beat Rite, a Chapel Hill, NC startup health technology firm, to prepare Phase I funding proposals. The same eight business development components were used to prepare their approved 3-Page Project Pitches.
