Grant Proposal Support
I hear it over and over again. Pulling all that information together and getting collaborators and staff to get you what you need on time - it’s tough!
You want to take action and make this the summer of winning proposals, but you feel stuck. You may be thinking:
How can I carve out more time?
Is this idea good enough?
How can my proposal get a higher score?
Am I collaborating with the right people?
Is it really possible for me to meet this deadline?
I Can Help.
Wondering how to write a stronger team management plan, demonstrate integrative capacity, or set up multi-PI and multi-site governance for a grant proposal?
I help principal investigators and research teams strengthen the team-science and collaboration sections of NSF and NIH grant proposals. These are the areas where I provide support, from proposal feedback on collaboration ROI to preparing for the proposal prep challenge.

-
Build the narrative that shows reviewers your team has real coordination structures, not an org chart and good intentions.
-
Articulate how your diverse expertise actually combines into coherent, high-impact research. This is the differentiator in competitive NIH and NSF

Expert review of draft proposals focused on the sections most consultants skip.
-
Structured cohort support for teams preparing large collaborative submissions.
Grant Proposal Team-Science Consulting for NSF & NIH Proposals
What I am most proud of is having worked closely with talented scientists to crystallize their proposal ideas and generate management plans and proposals that get funded. Seeing ideas become projects that uncover solutions and cures matters most to me, and I can’t wait to work with you to help you make a difference.
Strategies for Enhancing Collaboration and Building Better Interdisciplinary Teams

Wisdom helps us make better decisions and navigate challenges with greater understanding. It is gained through learning from mistakes, setbacks, and moments of growth. By reflecting on your weekly commitments and identifying places where we could temporarily steal back time, we will clear the path for you to draft the kind of proposal that provides you and your lab security and resources.
-
Use the knowledge, understanding, and awareness you've gained to shape your next project. We will hone in on some of the ideas you've been thinking about but haven't had the time to explore further. I'll provide a process that will help you narrow in on the most innovative ideas that will be sure to be of interest to the reviewers.

Plan your project aims, explore new collaborations, or consider drawing on different methodologies. Embrace new approaches by engaging in a search process to identify new collaborators and resources that will give your proposal a novel edge.

Preparing for submission requires the skill of driving project deliverables. Setting aside time for writing, delegating to others, and enlisting editors, statisticians, and others to help is key. To achieve professional growth, proactively take the initiative to set yourself and your team up for success. I can help!

Developing an integrated research plan, especially when drawing together different investigators, sites, and data, means creating a narrative and management plan that is cohesive and consistent. I'll help you think through how to create a proposal that demonstrates you are ready for success.
