DOE Office of Science SBIR proposal consulting.
Independent review of your Office of Science SBIR proposal from a consultant who worked inside that program office.
Office of Science SBIR is broad — the fit story matters.
The DOE Office of Science SBIR program spans a wide portfolio, from ASCR to basic energy sciences and beyond. Small businesses often try to fit a single technical story to more than one topic, which weakens the proposal. Reviewers reward a tight match between what you are building and the specific SBIR topic you are answering.
Dr. Spotz worked inside DOE's Office of Science and can help you assess topic fit, sharpen the technical framing, and make sure the commercialization case reads credibly to Office of Science reviewers.
How the engagement works.
- Full read of your Office of Science SBIR draft against the target topic.
- Written feedback on topic fit and how the proposal maps onto DOE Office of Science priorities.
- PM-perspective notes on technical framing and commercialization narrative.
- Live debrief to walk through the recommendations.
- Optional pre-submission read in the final days before deadline.
