We search and develop a list of potential funding resources. If your organization/institution has a proposal, but not the funding source, our company will locate new sources. In addition, we can re-write the proposal to fit new guidelines and re-submit to a new source.
The cost for preparing a grant proposal ranges from a few hundred dollars for letters of inquiry to several thousand dollars for larger, more involved applications. Writing fees of $3,000-$10,000 are common for federal and state grants, depending on proposal guidelines and the timeframe for completing and submitting the application. The final fee for a specific project is based on an hourly charge for staff involved in the proposal development, travel expenses, if any, as well as any document preparation, copying and mailing expenses paid by Assist.
If you've completed your proposal but need an objective third party to evaluate it, we can proofread it, making sure it matches the Request for Proposal and funding guidelines. We score the proposal, identify weaknesses, make suggestions and track changes.
To effectively provide the scientific/expert feedback needed on grant applications, Assist's senior M.D. and Ph.D associates can provide a pre-grant review. The purpose for this process is to support and encourage investigators to independently procure funding and improve their research proposals, and therefore become more competitive. An outside expert who critically reviews a grant can improve the score of a grant drastically. The process also assists with the improvement of the grant writing skills of the investigator. Grants must be submitted to the reviewer at Assist no later than one and a half months before they are due.
