Just In Time

Strong applications will often receive a “Just-in-Time" document submission request. This is a request for additional documentation from the NIH as they review your application. These documents might include further support of your company’s eligibility for SBIR/STTR grants as well as other potential funding sources of the senior/key personnel. BHGC will work with you to prepare and submit these additional documents.
