The Secrets of SBIR Cost Proposal: How to project the Right Indirect Rate


On-Demand Webinar Available in CD, MP3 and PDF Transcript


Don’t ignore critical aspects of the SBIR cost proposal

Too often, PIs spend hundreds of hours on the technical section of their SBIR proposal while ignoring critical aspects of the cost portion. Researchers typically give only passing consideration to indirect cost recovery through the grant process. Consequently, research is financially leveraged more than need be, and/or it sacrifices precious equity at a stage when it has little market value.

Legitimate indirect costs can be “recovered”

Indirect costs are not an option for PIs committed to successful innovations. These costs must be incurred and paid in order to nurture innovation and develop the infrastructure needed to execute your research. Legitimate indirect costs can be “recovered” as part of the cost basis for the grant funding amount. Each dollar of indirect cost recovered through a grant is a dollar that can be returned to your reserves for other uses - and a dollar that does not have to be raised through additional debt or equity sales.
