Individual and Multi- Investigator
Consultations
Consultations can be arranged either on an electronic or on-site basis. The former take place exclusively via e-mail, fax, express mail and telephone exchanges. They can be arranged by contacting our Program Coordinator, Ms. Shirley Riney, at programs@grantcentral.com. On-site consultations can be organized on either a ‘we-come-to-you' or ‘you-come-to-us' basis. These options are described below.
WE COME TO YOU
 
YOU COME TO US
On-site consultation at an institution is usually 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 can't. 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, at: programs@grantcentral.com .
 
Our facilities are designed to accommodate the investigator who wants to work intensively with us on either an individual or group-based grant application, having left the distractions of his/her faculty position behind. The trip is organized and planned through e-mail and telephone exchanges, thereby assuring maximal productivity from the visit. Consultations on group-based proposals are usually organized to have key personnel arriving and leaving sequentially, either as individuals or small groups. Consultations can be arranged at either our Los Olivos , California or Lawrence , Kansas offices. Nearby accommodations and amenities (click here for options available) make such visits not only productive, but pleasant.
