Research Grant Proposal Development

How fees are decided
Your fee depends on: number of investigators and sites · agency and scheme format · length of proposal · whether preliminary data analysis is needed · time to the deadline.
You receive a written scope, agreed timeline and quote within 2 working days of your free consultation.
Scope and limits
The principal investigator is the applicant and is responsible for the proposal’s content and eligibility. We do not submit on the PI’s behalf, invent preliminary data, or guarantee funding.
