I see that you are seeking an experienced grant writer for a Navy SBIR Phase I submission. I would be happy to provide writing, editing, and guidance on the proposal. If desired, I can also help you with proposal strategy, product positioning, commercialization, and budgeting, both inside and outside of the proposal efforts. I have availability to start as soon as you want.
As the former CEO of an SBIR-funded sensor consulting/manufacturing business, I have over 10 years of experience in personally writing, reviewing, and winning SBIR/STTR and other R&D proposals. I have written many proposals for SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II - NASA, Navy, Army, Air Force, DOE with a proven track record of success (40% SBIR Phase 1 hit rate, 60% SBIR Phase II hit rate). I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Florida, where I focused on microsensor development, leading to 20 years of academic/industry R&D and engineering experience.
I expect you will find my efforts worthwhile and efficient. I will provide, guidance, editing, strategy or whatever proposal-related assistance you might need. I will make sure that the strategy fits the customer, the content is technically accurate and complete, and the format meets all the proposal requirements. You will also find that I am positive, easygoing, energetic, and flexible. My goal is to give you the best chance possible of winning your proposal.
Wishing you the best,
Steve Horowitz
