If your goal is to get funded sooner and minimize review cycles through master grantsmanship,
our service is for you.

Strategic guidance on the most effective construction of your proposal and its Research Plan


Substantive editing of your material, emphasizing the clarity, impact, and validation of the story line


Writing those components needed, including critical summaries, overviews, introductions, transitions and other content


Framing the components of your Research Plan


Informed reading and advice based on study section reviews and/or reviewer comments ("pink sheets") of previous submissions of your proposal


Insightful reading of Requests for Applications/Funding Opportunity Announcements (RFAs/FOAs) concerning your proposed research


Projects involving integrative, systems-level or translationally-relevant subjects, or interacting collaborative groups, are special strengths

...is simply to work closely with you, the client, to help organize the presentation toward the reviewer's point of view, and to apply uncompromising quality standards. The primary focus of GrantRescue is to develop the most compelling articulation of Specific Aims, significance of your proposed research, and the story line.

Strategic components

• An authoritative, critical writing and presentation style that is highly empathetic to the reader
• We help ensure that key points and experimental plans are thoroughly validated and justified
• Positive and constructive input, helping you to focus on the project's strengths, and helping to achieve and fully exploit the synergies within the project's components
• Providing the amount of consultation, writing and editing you need, when you need it

For a broad band of applicants, the difference between fundable and nonfundable scores, or between a decent initial score and triage, is effective grantsmanship. By optimizing grantsmanship, our service aims to maximize productivity and returns on institutional or private investment, maximizing award rates and minimizing review cycles and grant submissions needed. And, measured against the funding sought, the cost of this service is typically only a minuscule fraction--translating into a large leveraging of client investment.

Consider:

• Eliminating even a single review cycle substantially increases an investigator's research productivity--not only by accelerating revenue capture, but also by avoiding unforeseen impediments (staff changes, new findings by competitors, changes in study sections, institutional crises).
• Even if your proposal requires resubmission, the "first impression" that your proposal has on reviewers during its initial review has a dramatic bearing on their interest, on the score received (and whether a score is assigned at all)-- and critically, their enthusiasm for seeing a second submission
• As competition for the limited funding pool for biomedical research continues to intensify, the competitive edge you gain as a GrantRescue client will return great value.
