Research Council Grant Proposals (NSF, NIH, ERC, UKRI)
Whole-proposal development for national and European research councils: outline, section drafting with you, criteria mapping, consistency checks and a pre-submission review.
Research Grants
Whole-proposal support from first outline to submission-ready draft, adapted to how each type of funder reads and scores applications.
Choosing within research grants
Choose by funder type, because the reader changes. National research councils such as NSF, NIH, ERC and UKRI use peer reviewers from your field who judge scientific merit, feasibility and the team against published criteria, and each has its own templates, page limits and required documents. Horizon Europe collaborative calls are different again: a consortium answers a specific topic text, and evaluators score Excellence, Impact and Implementation across a long Part B with work packages, deliverables and a budget shared between partners.
Foundations and private funders read proposals through their own mission and strategy. They often start with a short letter of inquiry, care about community outcomes and organizational capacity, and may involve program officers in conversation before a full application. If you are unsure which route fits your project, start with funder identification, or tell us about the idea and we will suggest a path.
