Provide expert guidance to life science companies for alignment with funding opportunities for basic and clinical research leading to commercialization.  Assist with planning, organizing, and preparing SBIR proposal for submission to government agencies such as DoD and NIH.

Specifically, I help with:

1. funding opportunities;
2. proposal planning, assembly, review and edit;
3. submission via the Electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal (eBRAP)
   Grants.gov, Application Submission System & Interface for Submission Tracking (ASSIST), and other portals;

thereby positioning the company for better chances of receiving awards.  

Post Award

Once an award is issued, I oversee all management and compliance requirements. This is a comprehensive approach for clients since most researchers lack the experience or resources to comply with the type of reporting and accounting standards expected by most government agencies.

Along with a company officer, I will act as a Signing Official (SO) to oversee all communication with government officials from Public Health Service (PHS) agencies, the Department of Defense (DoD), Human Research Protection Office (HRPO) and other agencies. Some of the activities that I manage are:

Registrations:

• System for Award Management (SAM)
• DUNS/SAMMI
• Grants.gov
• Electronic Research Administration (eRA Commons)
• Small Business Association (SBA); SBI Certificates
• iEdison

• eBRAP
• WAWF
• Payment Management System (PMS)

Finance, Compliance, and Reporting:

  1. Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)
  2. Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI)

  4. Federal Financial Reporting (FFR)
