I wrote back asking who had given my name and addy..... Mrs.McCoy sent
this reply, without answering my question. Looks to me as if they simply
want an endorsement of their product, at *a name your own price* fee.

>First, I would like to thank you for responding to my request for help
on my
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant, project with NIH. As the
principal investigator my goal is to assemble a team of lactation
consultants to evaluate and test the nursing shield as it is developed.
I
will mail the prototypes with an evaluation sheet for your evaluation.
Your
evaluation will help prepare the nursing shield for commercial use.
Each
shield will be evaluated on overall size and shape, material thickness,
nipple shape and size and color & texture.  I have contracted a wonderful
Medical Products Company to develop prototypes.  NIH requires that all
consultant who will play a role on my SBIR project submit Biosketches:

These Biosketches (your resume) should be no more than three (3) pages,
however, one (1) page will be greatly appreciated.  A sample letter of
what
the commitment letter should sound like is listed below:


Dear Mrs. McCoy

This letter is to express my willingness to serve as a consultant on your
NIH Phase I proposal, "Development of Mothers Nurser Nipple Shield."  I
agree to participate for (? Day's? Or Hours? Is your decisions) of
consultation at a minimum rate of ($Your Fee's ? per day or hours.)

Sincerely,

(Your name)
LaTina
