Administrative & Compliance Support for
SBIR/STTR Proposals
Federal Research Funding is complex — but it doesn’t have to be.
I help SBIR/STTR applicants navigate the complex registrations, eligibility, and compliance requirements—so they can focus on their innovation, not the paperwork.
Empowering Small Business Research
Hi, I’m Joelina—Guiding Ideas from Concept to Impact
For over 20 years, I’ve worked in research administration, helping innovators navigate the complexities of funding and compliance. Certified as a Research Administrator since 2009 and currently pursuing my master’s in marketing, I combine experience with fresh perspectives to guide my clients.
What drives me most is helping ideas become real solutions that can make the world a better place. I strive to be a trusted partner in advancing research that expands human understanding — helping ideas secure the support they deserve, and ensuring every successful proposal contributes to a brighter future.
Supporting Early-Stage Innovators
Helping YOU Navigate the SBIR/STTR Application Process with Confidence
I don’t write proposals—I handle the administrative and compliance side of SBIR/STTR programs. I help startups, small businesses, and researchers navigate registrations, budgets, and submissions, so you can focus on what matters most: your innovation.
Here’s how I help:
Navigate federal systems and registrations
Interpret eligibility requirements
Build compliant budgets
Manage proposal logistics and submission requirements
Reduce stress and free up your time
My work ensures your proposal is organized, compliant, and fully prepared for submission.
