Our focus
- Complex multi-site grants, where coordinating institutions and investigators matters as much as the science.
- NIH and NIA applications, including the National Institute on Aging.
- Federal agencies and private foundations across the US.
How we help
- Reading the funding opportunity the way reviewers will
- Shaping the strategy and structure of the application
- Coordinating contributions across investigators and sites
- Sharpening the narrative so the science is clear
- Keeping the team on schedule to submission
US funding, from Europe
Based in Portugal, we help European researchers and institutions find their way into the US research funding system for the first time.
