?? When Should You Talk to a Program Officer or Technical Point of Contact (TPOC)? ?? Before Applying – Best time! Get insights on agency priorities, proposal fit, and key considerations. ?? During Submission – Sometimes allowed, but check solicitation rules. Clarify technical details or eligibility. ?? After Submission – They usually can’t discuss your proposal but may provide review timelines or future funding tips. ?? After a Decision – Win or lose, ask for feedback! It can strengthen your next application. ?? Important: For grants, you can typically talk to TPOCs throughout the solicitation window. For contracts, communication is often restricted—so it’s essential to check the rules with each agency as soon as the solicitation is released. ?? Pro Tip: Be clear, concise, and prepared with smart questions. Have you ever connected with a PO or TPOC? Share your experience below! ?? #SBIR #STTR #GovFunding #SmallBusiness #OppsSpot

?? Navigating Federal Funding: Are You on the Right Path? ? Grants are awarded to support a public purpose authorized by federal law. They do not require substantial involvement from the federal agency during the performance of the funded activity. ? Contracts are used when the government acquires goods or services for its direct benefit. These involve specific deliverables and often require ongoing oversight. Understanding this distinction is key for organizations pursuing federal funding opportunities. Are you aiming to advance innovation through grants or provide solutions through contracts? ??
