Receive FREE Expert Guidance on Building Strong NIH SBIR/STTR Applications

Eva Garland Consulting (EGC) is excited to continue our partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide FREE support for small businesses planning to apply for a SBIR/STTR award through the NIH Applicant Assistance Program (AAP). The NIH AAP is designed to assist small businesses in preparing a Phase I SBIR or STTR application for the September 6, 2022 deadline. Accepted AAP participants will be assigned an expert coach from Eva Garland Consulting for one-on-one, personalized assistance at each stage of the SBIR/STTR application preparation and submission process.

The mission of the AAP is to increase the number of applications from underrepresented small businesses and to maximize applicant success by offering support and resources. Discover more details about the impact of the NIH AAP and the continued success of prior participants by following this link to a presentation from the 2021 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Small Business Program Conference.
