Funding agencies exist to fund efforts they consider worthwhile. But they must be very selective in deciding which projects meet their goals in a unique or superlative way. We support proposal efforts in many different ways and with different levels of involvement. Examples:

• Searches for funding sources
• Advice on contacting agencies and development of ideas for funding
• Tutorials and guided exercises in proposal preparation
• Assistance with or preparation of preliminary documents such as white papers and quad charts
• Honing your ideas to best match the funding agency's criteria
• Advice and review on proposals or the grant writing process
• Complete proposal preparation and submission

The technical content is up to you, the client. We do not assume expertise in your field, so we rely on you for good project ideas, technical descriptions and explanations, and qualifications of your group and personnel.

If needed, we will work with you on program setup to create a project plan. A good project plan increases your chances of funding. "Feasibility" is always among the items in lists of evaluation criteria.

We are especially familiar with the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program.

Our client base includes small businesses, large businesses, univerisities, for-profit, and not-for-profit companies. Click to see a client list or examples of proposal successes.
