Grant Editing Services

Grant Success with our Help

Picture
Neumann Scientific was established to offer expert scientific editing and consultation of grant applications. We offer an iterative process of editing, allowing our clients to consider our suggestions, implement changes, and have us provide additional suggestions to improve their grants. Our service offers three rounds of review for each grant to help develop it into its optimal form.

We focus on the following key questions to maximise our client's chances of funding success: 
  • Is the project described in a way that is understandable for reviewers who may come from outside the immediate field?
  • Is sufficient detail provided to give the reviewers a full sense of what is being proposed?
  • Is the approach scientifically sound and/or could alternative approaches be considered?
  • Are there any "holes" in the project that may be picked up and critiqued by reviewers?
  • Has the proposal been prepared with an engaging writing style and an appropriate use of schematics and figures?
Need help with generating engaging schematics? We can generate these for you to help emphasise your key messages or concepts.
​We focus on delivering high-quality, efficient services, aiming to return documents within 3 business days of receiving them. We also offer an optional video or phone consultation to discuss any elements of the grant application process.
