#THE NEUTRINO IS HOW TO#
Leveraging our years of experience navigating several of these opportunities, we aim to help individuals and institutions identify relevant DoD funding mechanisms and share some wisdom gleaned on how to succeed in winning their agreements and contracts. In this talk, we will shine some light on available funding from the DoD. The truth is that a large number of funding opportunities are available from the DoD that cover a surprisingly wide range of research areas and are available for myriad investigators, from entrepreneurs and junior investigators to established investigators and foundation directors. And coffee’s for closers only.įor many investigators, particularly those in biomedical research and technology, funding opportunities at the Department of Defense are a bit of a “black box”–less well understood and shrouded in myths such as “only for warfare equipment” or “must benefit those in Service”. But, sales has always been about relationships. We manage these contacts by providing targeted technology introductions and ensure the focus is on the technologies and startups of interest. Our network is massive and these relationships are key. The Neutrino Donut prides ourselves on the extent of our ability to provide corporate introductions for our clients in a variety of industries and contact points. The flexibility to offer services or provide local partners to consulting engagements is key to this process. The Neutrino Donut prides ourselves with our ability to create relationships with our clients and customize our services based on the needs of our clients. The network is not only your clients, but also the contacts you can bring to a relationship.
The extent of your network will determine the future of your consulting services.
This will involve more time spent understanding specific challenges by different group and creating the relationships with local and national partners. In order to be successful, SBIR consulting partners will need to develop local relationships with key players and startups. The larger change, a movement toward local support services, rather than nationwide contractors, is major shift in the management of SBIR processes. As expected, the politics is a major aspect of the stall and possible limitation of the approval process. At this point, we are waiting for Congress to approve the advancement of the SBIR process.
