Specific Aims Review
Introductory Specific Aims review service for investigators with a limited budget
Review and comments on the always-crucial Specific Aims page of your grant proposal draft
Your Specific Aims page is the most important single element in your proposal, and determinant of its success or failure.
If its energy and messaging capture the interest of reviewers and persuades them of your proposal's potential merit, you are "halfway home".
If not, you will face an uphill battle and limited prospects for success in your review, perhaps even precluding realistic prospects for resubmission.
A review and analysis by GrantRescue may point the way to funding success, and will surely help you to improve your Specific Aims.
Included in this special service offer
3 hours of review time (review/markup and drafting/conveying comments).
A comments page that summarizes your draft's strengths vs. apparent problems and limitations, and provides suggestions for improving and optimizing your story line and Aims formulations.
Markup of your Specific Aims page, including embedded questions, comments, prompts, and initial editing.
Analysis of your Specific Aims page draft will include:
Quality of messaging, presentation issues, organization of introductory material, and strength of evidence presented supporting your proposal's significance and innovation.
Quality of the formulations of your Specific Aims.
Writing adequacy, tone and reviewer-friendliness.
Guidance on whether these features are working together to clearly and convincingly reveal and highlight the novelty, innovation and significance of your proposal — and how to improve these aspects.
Guidance on whether the Aims form a cohesive, strong, well-organized attack on a significant problem that appears likely to advance the field.
Any evident limitations in approach.
