Abstract


The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant provides small businesses with the opportunity to access federal funding and support for research and development endeavors. The introductory step that businesses must do is submit a three-page grant proposal, and an illustrative tool for SBIR officials named Quadchart. The submitted information includes details about the target customer, market opportunity, and value proposition. 
The proposal answers a series of essay questions, which can be a daunting task, especially for small businesses To tackle this challenge, we propose utilizing the Business Model Canvas (BMC), an ontological business information tool designed to document business models
