We're preparing a U.S. Department of Education SBIR Phase IA proposal to build an assessment reasoning platform for school speech-language pathologists. It implements TTL-MSM, a fully specified decision framework for one of the hardest calls in school eligibility evaluations: whether a student's communication profile reflects a disorder or a difference. Clinicians code each source of evidence, and a fixed rule combines them. The rules are written; the software isn't. The research lead is at Baylor University.
Prototype Developer ($7095/hr): build a browser-based web app from a written spec, with privacy designed in from the start so it's ready for FERPA-protected student data later. About 1520 hrs/week for nine months if funded.
Technical Product Lead ($75100/hr): the bridge between the clinical spec and the engineering. Scope the prototype, turn the spec into requirements, and keep the build on schedule. About 58 hrs/week for nine months if funded.
Pre-award scoping (1015 hrs for the developer, 510 for the lead) is unpaid, and funded work is contingent on award. U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
