What should I do to ensure a successful proposal submission and avoid technical issues?

We strongly recommend submitting your proposal well in advance of the deadline. High network traffic near the closing time can slow down or disrupt the process. If you encounter any technical issues, contact the DSIP help desk immediately for assistance: DoDSBIRSupport@reisystems.com. The responsibility for a timely and successful submission rests with the proposer.
