Kick-Off Briefing
              Instructions
    The  following  instructions  are  for  any  DON  SBIR/STTR 
    contract that requires a Kick-Off Briefing.  The instructions are 
    tailored to a Phase I Kick-Off Briefing, but the template may 
    be  modified  as  appropriate  to  meet  Phase  II  deliverable 
    requirements.
    • The  Kick-Off  Briefing  should  address  the  proposed 
     innovation for which the contract was awarded; this is not an 
     overall capabilities briefing of the small business concern.
    • For questions about these instructions, please contact the 
     technical point of contact (TPOC) identified in your contract.
