DoD Research Proposal & Compliance Management
Write DoD proposals that pass compliance while winning grants
What You Can Do
You'll master DFARS regulations, military procurement rules, and research compliance requirements to accelerate proposal development. This skill helps you identify compliance risks before submission, structure proposals using DoD-approved narratives, and ensure every cost claim aligns with federal acquisition regulations.
Features
Scan proposals against Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements, flagging clauses, IP restrictions, and organizational conflicts before submission.
Generate section outlines (executive summary, technical approach, management plan, costs) tailored to DoD funding mechanisms (STTR, SBIR, BAA, MURI).
Translate military jargon, acronyms (SOCOM, DARPA, CRADA), and procurement terms used in RFPs and award conditions.
Identify organizational conflicts, cybersecurity facility requirements, and foreign national restrictions that trigger proposal disqualification.
Verify indirect cost rates, overhead ceilings, and cost allowability under DFARS Cost Principles for healthcare and non-profit institutions.
Map compliance, technical, and schedule risks with mitigation strategies aligned to DoD risk management expectations.
Surface recent DoD FAR updates, NDIA guidance changes, and compliance deadline shifts relevant to your institution and funding mechanism.
Example Output
Example 1: DFARS Compliance Audit Report
✓ Clause 252.204-7000 (Disclosure of Affiliations) → Included
✓ Data rights restrictions for DFARS technical data → Addressed in Section 4.3
⚠ Foreign nationals on team → Flagged for ITAR screening
✗ Organizational conflict disclosure → MISSING — Add Appendix B
Risk Level: MEDIUM | Remediation: Add 2 pages conflict analysis
Example 2: Proposal Section Outline (DARPA BAA)
1. Executive Summary (2 pages)
- Problem statement, innovation gap, military impact
2. Technical Approach (8 pages)
- Phase I/II milestones, TRL advancement, validation
3. Management Plan (2 pages)
- Team roles, risk mitigation, schedule
4. Cost Proposal
- Direct costs, indirect rate justification, cost allocation
5. Appendices
- DFARS compliance checklist, biosafety clearance, conflict disclosure
Example 3: Risk Mitigation Matrix
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-------------|--------|-----|
| DFARS compliance review delays | Medium | High | Early legal review; external audit |
| Foreign national clearance denial | Low | Critical | Plan domestic-only team; escalate early |
| Indirect cost rate negotiation | Medium | Medium | Lock rate pre-submission; budget buffer |
