Your SBIR Phase I is ending
My SBIR Phase I is ending. How do I prepare for Phase II?
Start before Phase I ends. Each agency sets its own Phase II rules and timing, and some expect the Phase II proposal while Phase I is still running. Learn your agency's process, gather the results that prove feasibility, and check whether work like yours has been funded at Phase II before.
