Grant Writing Consultancy

One target program, usually a first SBIR Phase I or a Phase II deadline.

We write your entire application. From Project Pitch through the full Project Description, commercialization plan, budget and justification, biosketches and letters of support. Drafted by writers who have won these awards themselves.

  • Program and topic selection against your roadmap
  • Technical interviews with your founders and PIs
  • Full drafting plus multiple reviewer-style review rounds
  • Submission support in Research.gov, eRA Commons and DSIP
  • Multi-year pipeline management
  • Post-award reporting and drawdowns

Per application. Fixed fee agreed up front after the free call, no equity taken.

Federal Funding Partnership

Teams treating non-dilutive funding as a multi-year, multi-agency strategy.

An ongoing retained partnership. We build and run a multi-year, multi-agency funding roadmap so you always have the next application in flight. Phase I to Phase II to Phase IIB and beyond.

  • Continuous opportunity scanning across NSF, NIH, DOE, DoD and ARPA-x
  • Deadline calendar and pipeline management
  • Phase II and commercialization readiness planning
  • Matching and state-level funding support
  • Audit support beyond your award reporting scope

Retained monthly, scoped to the number of applications in flight.

Award Reporting & Compliance

Companies that have already won and need the admin burden lifted.

Winning is the start. We take on the reporting and claims burden so your team stays focused on the science while your award stays fully compliant.

  • Technical and annual reporting
  • Budget drawdowns and invoicing support
  • Audit-ready record keeping
  • Phase I close-out and Phase II positioning
  • Writing new applications
  • Program strategy across agencies

Per award, quoted against reporting frequency and award size.

How pricing works

Every engagement is quoted as a fixed fee agreed before any work starts, based on the program, the award size and how much of the technical material already exists. We do not take equity, and we do not put you on an open-ended hourly meter. If we do not think you should apply this cycle, we will tell you on the free call rather than sell you a proposal.
