EditverseFellowship and foundation grants
from $1,250See levels and order
Fellowship and foundation reviewers judge the person and the fit as much as the project. This service writes applications with that in mind. It is for residents, fellows, postdoctoral researchers and early-career clinicians applying for a fellowship or career development award, and for investigators answering a private-foundation call.
Specification
- You provide
- Your CV or biosketch, mentor and institution details, a draft or outline of the research plan, and the funder's call with its forms.
- We do
- Structure the research plan to the page limit, write the training or career development plan around named skills and milestones, draft the candidate and foundation statements, and check every component against the call.
- You receive
- Research plan, training plan or foundation narrative, the required statements, and a compliance checklist listing each component and its limit.
- Standard applied
- For NIH awards, the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide FORMS-I fellowship (F) and career development (K) instructions and NIH page limits; for Wellcome awards, Wellcome's application guidance on proposal, applicant and research environment; for foundations, the call's own criteria.
- Turnaround
- 2 to 3 weeks.
- Revision rounds
- 2 rounds, normally one after your review and one after your mentor's.
- Team
- A subject-matter expert (PhD or MD in your field) and a medical writer experienced in career awards; a statistician where the research plan needs a sample size.
Levels
The two priced levels are two kinds of application. A third, for applications with several separately reviewed components, is by quote.
| What is included | Fellowship application $1,250 | Foundation grant $2,000 | Multi-component, by quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research plan to the page limit | |||
| Training or career development plan | |||
| Candidate and goals statements | Where the call asks | ||
| Foundation narrative: need, approach, outcomes, fit with the foundation's mission | Where the call asks | ||
| Compliance check against the call | |||
| Several linked components or institutional sections |
All levels include 2 revision rounds.
The quote for a multi-component application depends on the number of components, the page limit of each, and how much draft text and mentor input already exists.
How the work is checked
Fit to the award
The plan is read against the purpose of the award: a training award must show what the candidate will learn, from whom, and by when.
Consistency across documents
Aims, timeline, mentor roles and training activities are reconciled across the research plan, the training plan and the statements.
Scientific read
A subject-matter expert reviews the research plan for feasibility within the award period.
Format and limits
Each component is checked against the page limits and instructions in force on the delivery date.
Editverse Medical work is aligned with COPE, ICMJE and GPP 2022; institutional and country-specific ethics requirements are followed. Authors keep authorship and accountability.
Not included
Mentor and referee letters, institutional commitment letters and portal submission are prepared by the people who sign them.
Ordering and payment
Pay by invoice to reserve the schedule, or choose Request this service, send the call and your CV, and pay after the first draft is delivered, only if it meets your expectations. Text may be submitted once payment is made. Editverse Medical issues an official invoice and receipt for departmental reimbursement, and trainees without funding can ask for a case-by-case discount through the quote form.
Questions about this service
Can you write my mentor's letter?
No. Sponsor and referee letters carry the signer's own assessment. A list of points the letter should cover, matched to the award criteria, is supplied for your mentor.
Which fellowships are covered?
F30 and K-series awards, clinician-scientist fellowships and comparable national schemes. Send the call for any other scheme and it is scoped against that call.
My research plan is only an outline. Is that enough?
Yes. An outline with the question, the approach and any preliminary data is enough to start. The first draft is built from it and returned for your direction.
How do the two revision rounds work?
You return consolidated comments on the first draft. After your mentor or co-applicants have read the revised version, a second round takes in their comments.
