“Red Team Review” is an innovative pilot program that will provide professional guidance and a final review of a company’s SBIR/STTR proposal prior to submitting it to the participating federal agency.
The “red team” of SBDC specialists, led by Stephanie Amend, managing partner of Arrowhead Solutions, a govIRG company, will first provide guidance on proposal preparation, offer tools and templates, and finally, take the perspective of the agency and apply evaluation criteria that is articulated in the agency’s Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) through a red team review. This allows the proposal to be seen with fresh eyes—from a new perspective. After reviewing the team’s comments, the applicant will have one last chance to edit his or her proposal prior to the agency’s final deadline.
The Red Team Review program will focus on three separate agency solicitations—National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Defense (DoD) and National Science Foundation (NSF).
