ON-SITE and ELECTRONIC CONSULTATIONS |

Consultations can be arranged either on an electronic or on-site basis. They can be arranged by contacting our Program Coordinator, Ms. Shirley Riney. These options are described below. |

ON SITE |
|
|
On-site consultation at an institution is provided for large, group-based proposals (e.g., program project, training, center, and construction applications), which require entirely different writing and organizational approaches and strategies to be successful. Most applicants, even though successful as writers of individual grant applications, fail in their first attempts to write these large proposals because they don't fully appreciate how to address the critical differences. We can help write such applications faster and better - with a greater probability of success – because we are extensively experienced and successful at writing them, and have the track record to prove it. In addition, we can devote ourselves to such a project. By contrast, busy faculty members usually cannot. Most often, we initially work on-site with the Principal Investigator and other key personnel to organize the writing and get control of the details, after which we electronically critique drafts as they evolve. A final, on-site consultation is usually required to maximize the quality of the final submission. To explore consultation on a group-based application at your institution, please contact our Program Coordinator, Ms. Shirley Riney. |

Individual consultations on the development of either new or revised applications are available. In addition to producing a well-conceived and written application, these consultations are investments in the future: one-on-one interaction with Grant Writers' consultants is an excellent way to develop and refine long-term proposal-writing skills. The approach accommodates scheduling flexibility and, with respect to NIH proposals, increases an individual’s ability to understand and cope with the changes in how applications are written and reviewed. The service is applicable to new investigators who want to optimize the quality of their early submissions; to experienced proposal writers who want to maximize their chance of success on the first submission of their proposals; and to those who have submitted an unsuccessful application and need some 'extra' help making sure that the resubmitted proposal is as strong as possible. Individual consultations are guided by The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook and are conducted by telephone, e-mail, fax and Skype-based teleconferencing. If an individual consultation is desired, please contact our Program Coordinator, Ms. Shirley Riney. |
