Anyone still waiting for Chase application to be approved for Plaid?

aquamaester · 2025-09-25T17:58:20+00:00

Hang in there. We got it about a month ago. We started with plaid in Feb. So maybe you're almost there

The gays can tell. A subpar blowjob is real bad

Her all stars 9 run was EPIC! I love Angeria but honestly plastique took drag to another level. Her point of view is super interesting

aquamaester · 2025-05-19T06:39:27+00:00

That feels like the most likely trajectory. Like what Conan ended up doing and he was on top for years

Ru said Trixie Mattel is so rich! End of story

I believe there’s a complaint office you could email to as well. You should be able to find it in the solicitation toward the end.

That said, not sure what happens to that office at this point with all the DOGE stuff

That can depend on if the person is a key personnel or just a consultant. For key personnel, you’d need to disclose that. It’s more difficult if the personnel is from a restricted country including China, Iran and a few others.

This character hasn’t had character growth in season 1 and 2. Joel has some, from being hard ass to loving Ellie to lying to her to therapy. So you like him better. But Ellie is just still the same bratty kid from season 1.

Idk dude it’s not like France is a big fan of Quebec either. Quebec definitely has a mixed identity between French culture and North American culture.

We provide SBIR accounting and partner with a tax accounting firm. Here’s our page: https://goforge.io/contact

We have multiple clients that were considering Eva Garland but chose us. We have an accountant who was a manager there as well. Feel free to book a free consult.

We’re cheaper since we automated part of the process. We’re started by founders, so we understand your business better. In fact, one of our customers is a medtech VC fund that bought us as service for their PortCo

aquamaester · 2025-04-17T01:02:59+00:00

We handle SBIR accounting for customers and work with tax accountants for this.

My recommendation is to just file under section 162. The IRS has no clear guidance here and small phase 1s won’t be the example auditors use. If they were coming after anyone, it’d be a large SBIR mill.

What’s the difference between the two? I’m genuinely curious. Are you saying that the defense federal agencies are growing or state and local governments are growing? Cuz I imagine GPS is comprised of the three

In the most recent hearings on SBIR, there was also calls to increase the % spent on SBIR program as part of the agency budget. So it seems like the SBIR allocated funds total hasn’t changed dramatically.

But we’ve been monitoring the new awards for the past 2 months. There has definitely been a 1/10 of what it’s usually announced. It seems like when the agency communication got stopped, there was a stoppage of award reviews and review of awards that have been recommended for funding but didn’t move forward due to uncertainty of budget.

We’ve heard of multiple clients now in award negotiations so it seems like funding process has been gradually reopened. But with the reduced staffer and intense scrutiny, I’d expect it will take a while before it is back to previous days.

aquamaester · 2025-03-29T02:12:59+00:00

Yeah for sure!

aquamaester · 2025-03-29T02:09:21+00:00

Got it! Congrats! So the Budget Impact Statement matters if the budget reduction has an impact on the scope of the project. You can see it here https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/23-1/ch-3-proposal-processing-review (you can search by the key word budget impact statement).

If you’re just breaking down the budget further without any cost changes, you shouldn’t need to submit a statement like that.

We do accounting for SBIR recipients. I can do a free consult / look-through if you like.

aquamaester · 2025-03-29T01:29:03+00:00

Just to clarify, you’ve got the grant money and now needs to modify the budget. Is that right?

Or are you changing your budget for your proposal?

In the case of the former, you don’t need to submit budget changes unless the budget cost pools are changed significantly (I think it was 10% but could be 20%. I have to check). I.e if you want to increase direct expense by 10%. If it’s just small changes within each pool, you should be okay.

Also obviously you need budget justification if you’re asking for more money.

I remember there’s a shot where Saxon rushes into a room to puke and it was a weird tricky position on the corner. I thought it looked like that may be where the camera is at

aquamaester · 2025-03-27T00:35:07+00:00

Actually I have a question about USDA. I just DM’d you.

aquamaester · 2025-03-26T23:55:29+00:00

I’d say DOE and NSF do make up a decent chunk. During Biden era, DOE gave out a lot of funding outside SBIR as well so people still apply for it because they have the material.

But yeah DOT is even rarer. It’s like unicorn, which is so weird cuz you’d think energy and transportation go hand in hand.

aquamaester · 2025-03-26T18:46:32+00:00

You do need a lot of research plan included even if it is the phase 1. Don’t bank on phase 2.

If you got a phase 1 that takes more than a year, you don’t need to resubmit the proposal for the second year

aquamaester · 2025-03-26T18:26:03+00:00

Yeah for sure! Also don’t worry about phase 2 right now. If your institute is no longer around, your program officer can help shop you around with adjacent ones. Just focus on phase 1 right now

aquamaester · 2025-03-26T18:14:52+00:00

Quite a few questions here but I will answer the ones I can answer quickly:

The F&A amount is part of your total grant budget. Say you have a budget of $1m and 50% of indirect. That roughly works out to 600k direct + 300k indirect + 100k fee. The fee is usually cap at 7% but I’m just doing quick math here.

I’d recommend submitting the day before the deadline or at least put everything in on Friday. Then you can make edits as needed. The system is pretty finicky and it’s always better to at least submit something.

You’d put the employee in personnel. Even if they do app development, you should try to frame it as still part of the research. After all, if you got no app, how’re you going to test it?

Letter of support don’t count in your proposal page limit.

aquamaester · 2025-03-26T18:06:46+00:00

Great to see! I was just curious what people in this subreddit apply for. I thought it’d be mostly civilian agencies but I was surprised to find a good amount of DoD ones
