Grant Services for Higher Education

Our scalable approach is designed for higher education institutions of all sizes, whether rushing to meet a specific tight deadline or toward your long-term, strategic goals. We add capacity to your internal teams that already have a full grant calendar and require a-la-carte services in order to respond to a specific grant opportunity. Also, we supplement smaller institutions lacking the internal staff to write and manage grants, much less pinpoint new opportunities. Either way, with the ability to get the exact help you need, we can help improve outcomes.

No matter where you are in the process or the area in which you need support, you can count on our grant professionals to hit the ground running.

Our Scalable Approach and Customized Services are a Perfect Fit for Higher Education
We work with institutes that:

• Have a full-time grant writer who needs assistance (ongoing or periodic) with overflow work
• Want to develop a comprehensive grantsmanship program
• Have a grant writer on medical / personal leave or are between grant writers that need temporary grant writing support to ensure continuity of revenue sources in the interim
• Are engaged in a specialized research initiative or capital campaign and need dedicated grant writers for these activities

Proven Results in Three Major Models
Advancement Model – We work with your development directors to meet institutional fundraising goals by developing annual grant revenue streams.

Academic Model – We work with your faculty and / or academic administration to support student-oriented initiatives as well as community outreach initiatives.

Research Model – We work with your Office of Sponsored Research to support individual faculty members’ research interests.
