Grant consultants
Proposal development, scientific editing and consulting services in the biomedical sciences Experts for European Research Council (ERC) applications
WHAT WE DO
Applying for an ERC grant requires meticulous preparation, as only truly outstanding proposals have a chance of receiving funding. But ERC grants also offer the chance to present a very personal application, reflecting your motivation, research focus, and the scientific questions that drive you. We help you identify and align these elements with the funder’s intention and evaluation criteria.
Our own methodology, refined over hundreds of applications, guides you throughout the development and refinement of your scientific proposal. While we are experts in ERC grant applications, our approach is adaptable to any bottom-up, single-PI grant application. Similarly, we regularly support faculty applications, where a strong, personal research vision matters just as much.
ERC Grant Consultancy
We support researchers during the critical pre-award stage, helping transform early-stage ideas into strong, fundable research proposals.
From concept development to final submission, we guide you in building competitive applications for major biomedical funding schemes, such as the ERC.
Training for Scientists
We offer tailored training programs designed to strengthen every stage of the grant application process. Including ERC-focused workshops and interview preparation, our training helps researchers develop the skills needed to succeed in competitive funding environments.
Scientific illustration
We enhance the visual impact of your proposal through professional graphic design. From conceptual diagrams to figures and visual summaries, we help you communicate complex scientific ideas in a clear, compelling, and reviewer-friendly way.
Faculty applications
We support your faculty application from strategy and CV development through multiple rounds of document review, and coach you individually for the tenure talk and interview, so your research vision and your track record come across as a coherent, compelling case.
Concept Development: Strategy Sessions
We help you turn a promising idea into a sharp, ERC-ready project concept, clarifying your scientific strategy and challenging it against the criteria that matter to reviewers.
Writing Stage: Proposal Revisions
We review your drafts round by round, from the first sketch to the submission-ready version, giving you concrete feedback to strengthen the scientific case, the structure, and the narrative.
Interview Stage: Training for Presentation and Q&A
We coach you through mock presentations and Q&A sessions so you can present your project and research vision with a clear storyline and confidence in front of the panel.
WHY CONTACT US
We accompany you during the process of developing your research project. Working with us will help you clarify your personal scientific strategy in line with your motivation, and set clear long- and mid-term research goals. Our outside perspective and external role will guide you throughout the proposal preparation process, ensuring that you submit the best possible project.
WHO WE ARE
We are experts for ERC grant applications with PhDs in the life sciences and many years practical experience in biomedical research, grant consultancy, scientific editing, scientific illustration, and project management. Put in one expression: Consultancy for scientists, by scientists.”
