“I just need a SBIR—that’s all I want.” Sound familiar?

In this clip, Dolores Kuchina-Musina tackles one of the most common misconceptions in the government innovation space: that there’s a single perfect award for every idea. Spoiler: there isn’t.

The truth? The FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) and U.S. Code are built to be flexible. Whether you’re exploring R&D, feasibility studies, or proof-of-concept work, there are multiple paths—from grants to OTAs to prize challenges.

What matters most isn’t chasing a buzzword. It’s knowing what you’re trying to accomplish—and matching the right tool to the mission.
