​Hostile Reviews

NSF Pitch, SBIR, May 2023
DOT Pitch, Intersection Challenge, June 13, 2023  
Strikewers UAV Swarm Challenge Submission, August 2023

This page documents past proposals and reviews of those proposals.
Examples of hostile reviews include comments like:

• The technology is not new and has limited upside; WHEN neither the program manager nor the reviewer are able to identify previous publications that verify the concept is not new.
• A review without any identification of flaws in science or engineering and including patent-pending technology; where, the reviewer states the inventor is not qualified to perform the research.  Is the reviewer saying the R&D should not be done, or is the reviewer saying the R&D should be done in violation of the patent-pending status?  Is the reviewer trying to eliminate the competition in a certain area of R&D (because that is the only way that reviewer can get ahead)?
