The Value of Hiring a Grant Writer

Streamlining SBIR/STTR Funding

You have developed an innovative medical device idea, assembled your team, and are ready to revolutionize the medical industry. The only thing standing in your way is funding. While an SBIR/STTR grant is an excellent source of non-dilutive funding, applying for this type of grant is a long and convoluted process. Instead of getting caught up in grant applications, seemingly off-topic grant writing meetings, , and navigating grant criteria and government regulations, consider hiring a grant writer. Writing National Institute of Health (NIH) SBIR/STTR grants by yourself is possible, but it's often better to seek professional grant writing assistance.

Maximizing Innovation: Minimizing Burdens

When you start your innovation journey, you invest significant time and energy into idea refinement, team building, research, and market analysis. These tasks are fulfilling and exciting; they’re the core tasks of commercializing your innovation! However, pursuing grants can feel less rewarding and more burdensome in comparison. At worst, grant applications can distract you from your core endeavor—commercializing your innovative medical technology.

Focusing on Innovation

Applying for grants, such as SBIR or STTR grants, requires expertise in concise technical grant writing, understanding NIH criteria and scoring, and meeting specific expectations and timelines. While it's possible to learn and manage these aspects, this diverts your attention from the core goal of your project. Hiring a grant writer allows you to stay focused on your primary goal while benefiting from their expertise. For instance, the SBIR/STTR grant writers at Blue Haven Grant Consultants have over 12 years of experience leveraging federal grants to fund medical technology commercialization. Imagine having this expertise helping craft your SBIR/STTR grant application. While hiring an SBIR/STTR grant writing professional may seem like an additional cost, it significantly increases your likelihood of raising non-dilutive capital. Blue Haven Grant Consultants recognizes this cost barrier and therefore offers a “BHGC Pay Upon Award”™ pricing model to substantially de-risk the inherent funding uncertainty in the SBIR/STTR program.
