spec 10 — services · four packages, seven parts

page 14 of the solicitation, review criteria flagged in copper — every package below starts there.

Each package is specced to the deliverable: what lands in your inbox, what your team supplies, the lead time in weeks, and the flat fee written into the engagement letter before drafting begins. Pick the tier on the call; we confirm it in writing within one business day.

§ 01 — data sheets

four packages, read like a parts spec

Left column: what we deliver. Right column: what only your team can supply. The fee on each sheet covers every line in the left column, two structured revision rounds (one on pkg-01), and the compliance sign-off.

01pkg-01 / research

funding scan

For teams who know they need non-dilutive money and haven’t matched it to a mechanism yet. We read source solicitations — agency topic lists, foundation RFPs, program announcements — and tell you which three are worth a package this cycle.

we deliver

8–12 matched opportunities, ranked by fit to your project
Eligibility, due time (ET), and award ceiling, each cited to the source document
Fit memo, 4–6 pages, with a go / wait / skip call per opportunity
30-minute debrief by video

you supply

A one-pager, abstract, or pitch deck
Entity type and UEI, if you have one
Target award size and the latest date you could start work

02pkg-02 / foundation

foundation application

Private, community, and corporate foundation requests up to roughly ten narrative pages — program, capacity-building, or general-operating support. Written to the funder’s own priorities language, not a recycled boilerplate case statement.

we deliver

Letter of inquiry, where the funder asks for one first
Need statement, program narrative, logic model
Evaluation plan with outputs and outcomes separated
Program budget and line-item justification
Attachments checklist and portal upload prep

you supply

Most recent Form 990 and audited financials or board-approved budget
Board list and determination letter
Program data you already track — enrollment, sessions, outcomes

most booked

03pkg-03 / federal

federal research package

SBIR/STTR Phase I and comparable federal mechanisms at NIH, NSF, DOE, USDA, and DoD. Every section argued to the review criteria printed in the solicitation — significance, innovation, approach, team, environment — and every budget line traceable to an aim.

we deliver

Specific aims or project summary, plus abstract
Research strategy written to the page limit
Commercialization plan, where the agency requires one
SF-424 (R&R) budget, every project year, with justification
Biosketches, facilities, data-management plan formatted
Letters-of-support drafts for your partners to sign
Registration sequence: SAM.gov, Login.gov, agency portal
Compliance matrix and submit-day call

you supply

Preliminary data, figures, and protocols
A 90-minute recorded PI interview
Your negotiated indirect rate agreement, or your de minimis election
For STTR: a contact at the research institution’s sponsored-programs office
PI sign-off on aims before assembly

04pkg-04 / phase ii

phase ii & resubmission

Phase II follow-ons, Fast-Track scopes, and resubmissions that answer a summary statement. The fee is fixed after we read your reviewer critiques — the length and difficulty of the response is the variable, so we quote against it, not around it.

we deliver

Introduction to the resubmission, critique by critique
Research strategy rebuilt around Phase I results
Multi-year budgets with subaward budgets reconciled
Commercialization plan with Phase I milestones carried forward
Compliance matrix and submit-day call

you supply

The summary statement or full reviewer comments
Phase I final report or results to date
Subaward institutions’ budgets and letters of intent

§ 03 — pkg-03 on the calendar

seventy days out, counted backward from the agency’s due time

The federal package runs to a fixed ruler. Each tick is a day; each marker is a hand-off with a named owner. Foundation packages compress the same sequence into four weeks.
