Strengthen Your Grant
Strengthening the clarity, positioning, and competitiveness of your grant application.
I work with researchers to sharpen strong science into clear, funder-aligned proposals that present a compelling and defensible case for funding.
The focus is on strengthening the research narrative, clarifying the proposal's logic, and ensuring that reviewers can quickly understand the significance, feasibility, and impact of the work.
Best suited to
Researchers seeking strategic input beyond editing
Competitive funding schemes (e.g., NHMRC, MRFF)
Support tailored to where you are in the process
Strategic Grant Review for near-complete drafts and previously submitted proposals
Strategic Grant Development for early-stage proposals requiring strategic and writing support
Strategic Grant Review (for near-complete drafts and previously submitted proposals)
A structured, detailed review focused on clarity, narrative flow, and alignment with funder expectations.
What's included
Structural and strategic review of the research proposal
Strengthened articulation of rationale, significance, and impact
Alignment with funder priorities and assessment criteria
Identification of gaps, assumptions, or areas requiring further development
Clarity of the research narrative and logical progression across sections
What you'll receive
Edited draft with tracked changes (focusing on clarity, structure, flow), supported by detailed in-text commentary and strategic feedback
Scope
Single round review and refinement to strengthen a near-complete draft or existing, previously submitted proposal
Timeframe
Typically 1 - 2 weeks for existing proposals or near-complete drafts
Strategic Grant Development (for early-stage proposals)
Ongoing strategic and writing support to shape the proposal from the outset. The focus here is on building a strong narrative across sections, so that the rationale, approach, and anticipated impact are consistently and clearly conveyed.
What's included
Structural and strategic review of the research proposal
Strengthened articulation of rationale, significance, and impact
Alignment with funder priorities and assessment criteria
Identification of gaps, assumptions, or areas requiring further development
Clarity of the research narrative and logical progression across sections
What you'll receive
Annotated drafts with in-text comments and strategic feedback
Edited versions with tracked changes (clarity, structure, flow)
Scope
Tailored and dependent on where you are in the grant process
Iterative rounds of reviews and revisions may be required for early- to mid-stage proposals and for researchers seeking additional writing support alongside strategic input
Timeframe
Tailored and aligned with grant deadlines
Typically 4 - 12 weeks for early-to-mid stage proposals
