TABA

TABA helps awardees pay for services that improve the odds of commercialization. Depending on the agency and phase, companies may use TABA for customer discovery, manufacturing planning, intellectual property guidance, market validation, or sales strategy.

Founders should plan TABA early because it may need to be included in the proposal budget. Used well, it gives a technical team access to business expertise at the exact moment when transition planning starts to matter.
