The TABA Needs Assessment Report provides a third-party, unbiased assessment of your progress in technical and business areas that are critical to success in the competitive healthcare marketplace. 

Up to $50,000 of free TABA Consulting Services are available for a limited number of SBIR and STTR awardees in the areas of Intellectual Property, Market Analysis, Regulatory Affairs, or Reimbursement Planning.
