o   Only one person should be identified as the TPOC, but list additional significant contributors who can be included in technical discussions and their relevant work in the field.

·         Partners

o   Detail all industrial, academic, and government partners (foreign and domestic) that support or enable your research. What players exist in this market segment?  What effect would global events have on your research and capability to continue?

·         What is the state-of-the-art? – Introduction

o   Provide context to the strategic alignment of the research area and explain how the research relates to the current state-of-the-art (references to important literature can be included).

·         What is your unique, new contribution to the state-of-the-art? – Technology Concept

o   Summarize the scientific/technical need the research fulfills, describe the scientific/technical objectives of the research, and describe the envisioned outcome.

·         What is it that your company possesses? – Research Description

o   Enumerate the key aspects of your research/technologies/concepts, experimental/computational validation, and/or projections, and describe the capabilities made possible by your efforts.

·         How broadly does your technology apply? – Market Utilization

o   Explore the transition potential of your research. Does your technology serve a wider public interest? Is your technology inherently a government-use-only solution, or can it be leveraged in the private sector?  Have you identified potential transition partners within or outside the DoD?

·         The stated goals and objectives' clarity, relevance, and compelling nature.

·         The appropriateness and feasibility of the technical approach and corresponding methodology.

·         The degree to which the technical approach is appropriate for meeting the stated objectives.

·         The degree to which technical/schedule risks have been identified and accounted for.

·         The proposed solution’s degree of innovation.

·         The assembled team’s expertise and capabilities.

·         The level of relevance to the DoD need.

In addition to the above criteria, it is highly recommended that you include an assessment of your Technology Readiness Level and list any commercial or government stakeholders or customers you are working with to develop or commercialize this technology.
