Client Testimonials
We love our clients' feedback, gratitude and relationships – some of our strongest motivators!
Rather than bother them for “testimonial statements”, here are some of their actual on-the-job comments (2007 - present)

I am pleased to report that it was fully funded! The money hit my account this week and I am very excited to get started :)

We got it (we think, 7th percentile)! Thanks for everything you did. Notice of R01 award arrived today. Woohoo!!!
Thank you very much for your help with the U24. My wife was very impressed with your editing to make the whole proposal look like it was written by one author, while there were in actuality probably a dozen or so.
Great comments Jeffrey. I like how you are tough and you make excellent comments. Wonderful. Funded!! Thank you for all your help Jeff!

I thought you'd like to know about our new ranking – as #1 in NIH for nursing schools.
I realized that my writing overall has improved significantly in the past few years and I'm sure it has to do with working with you. Thank you for being so much more than a grant writer.
I am in awe of your amazing skills to play with words, and I always enjoy reading the final product. I like to think that some of your skills rub off a little bit on me whenever I work with you, making my writing skills incrementally better.
DELIGHTED to let you know that the R24 to accelerate dementia research was funded! Your superb edits and pointers were essential to getting this award. I am so glad we are working together.
It's official — I got the K award!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I have a feeling we will be working together again! You are worth your weight in gold!

2015
I received the Notice of Award for the NIH proposal you helped me with. Thank you again for all of your help with both research proposals and strategizing the response to reviewers. Given how tight paylines are now, your assistance surely played an important role in securing this funding.
He has been absolutely fantastic. Not only did he assist with basic proofing, he also helped crafting the project narrative to make it effective for the reviewers.
This is the kind of review that I have wanted and needed for the past several years. Great stuff, really appreciated it.
2014
Dr. Tatro has provided an excellent review of our NIH Summary Statements. Our $7.4 million project is very close to funding, and his assistance is proving most helpful.
I just received the score – 4%ile – well below the 10% payline, and will likely get funded. I would also be more than happy to help in any way to recommend you to anyone who wants to work with you in the future.
I received a 7 percentile on the R01 resub that you helped me with. Thanks again for your help!!
The R15 grant got funded. We definitely gained value added from working with you and would like to continue to do so on future grant applications.
I always tell my wife that you were God-sent for me. I have learned so much from you and continue to learn. Your suggestions made a huge difference!!!
I feel I have learned a lot from going through your comments/edits, not only for this particular proposal, but also for my writing in general. It is a much better proposal than it would have been without your support.
2013
That grant you helped me with finally got reviewed and luckily is still in this cycle. It got a score of 13, at 1%!! Thanks for your help.
Heroic job last night. Grant is in. It looks fantastic. What a difference. Thanks for all.
wow so good!! Thanks so much, I learned a lot from our interaction...
2012
We got a 1.0 score!! It was a pleasure working with you and I hope to have your help for a new training grant. Thanks again.
I sincerely appreciate your help and I have learnt A LOT through this process. I am encouraged by your positive attitude!
It is amazing how much the grant was transformed between the first and final version. I will definitely make referral to all my friends who are writing grants.
Just looking at your first edits, your edits are simply outstanding. You are making the grant get some funding. You are awesome!
After such intense work, our grant reads very well. Really appreciate the hours of hard work you put into the punching, stabbing, and tweaking of this complex proposal.
I am very happy for the low percentile (5%ile & got the grant) of my revised grant, which I attribute to your great service.
2007–2011
I find writing 'painful' and difficult... you clearly have a way with words. How can I learn to write like you? My theory has always been that good science writers read a lot on the subject — but you can take something out of the blue and work on it without problems.
The editor is Jeff Tatro — he is very good at taking what you have written and getting you to think about making it an interesting story.
Your points are right on as usual — the edits and comments are definitely helpful and have helped for sure.
The proposal was received at NIH yesterday. I found your last comments extremely useful. Thanks a lot for all your help and support. So you can count on me as a happy client.
Your changes were good — went right to the matter quickly, i.e. made the grant more compelling. Do you remember this grant? It may be getting funded! [It was!] You certainly helped getting it in order.
Many thanks for your help. I enjoyed working with you. I think you made the proposal much stronger. Thank you so much for your help! Awesome work.
Thanks for your commitment to making this work. Thanks for your assistance, it really helps to have professional input. I think you were very helpful in realigning the context and emphasis and that is what this grant needed.
