Pressure-test your NIH SBIR/STTR application before submission

You have a substantive draft and need an independent assessment before submission. The review is most useful when your team has time to address the findings, rather than only correct wording at the deadline.

• The connection between the unmet need, scientific premise, innovation, and proposed work
• Specific Aims, supporting evidence, experimental logic, rigor, feasibility, and alternatives
• Milestone clarity, dependencies, and alignment with the development stage
• Likely reviewer questions, major vulnerabilities, and the revisions that matter most

Biotech and life-science companies with an existing NIH SBIR/STTR application draft, including teams preparing a first submission or a revised application. This is a signature Noradelis service, informed by scientific leadership and U.S. and European grant-review experience.

A written reviewer-style assessment, prioritized revision recommendations, and a debrief to distinguish critical weaknesses from secondary improvements. The reviewed materials and deliverables are agreed before work begins.

The engagement does not include full application writing, submission administration, or a guarantee of a score or funding outcome. Noradelis provides independent assessment and is not part of the NIH review process.

First, share the opportunity, submission deadline, and draft status. We agree the materials and scope, review the application independently, and deliver a prioritized assessment followed by a discussion of the next revisions.
