Research grant proposal

from $1,190See levels and order

A grant proposal is scored against published criteria, inside fixed page limits. This service works to those criteria. It is for principal investigators, clinician-researchers and research offices applying to NIH, ICMR, DBT, Wellcome, UKRI, Horizon Europe, NHMRC or a private foundation, at three points: a draft that needs strengthening, an application that was not funded, or a proposal still to be written.

You provide
Aims or the current draft, preliminary data, biosketch or CV, the funder, mechanism and call text, and for resubmissions the summary statement or reviewer comments.
We do
Read the call and its review criteria, map your science to each criterion, write or rewrite the narrative sections, prepare the statistical analysis plan with power calculation, and check format and page limits against the funder's current instructions.
You receive
The proposal sections in the funder's structure, a criteria audit, a compliance checklist, and at Resubmission the introduction that answers the previous review.

Multi-site, programme and centre grants are by quote. The quote depends on the number of projects and cores, the number of partner sites, and how much of the text already exists.

How the work is checked

  1. Criteria map

    Each review criterion is listed with the page and paragraph that answers it. Gaps are fixed before drafting continues.

  2. Scientific read

    A subject-matter expert reads as a reviewer would and marks every claim that a study section would question.

  3. Numbers check

    The power calculation, enrolment figures, timeline and budget justification are reconciled with each other.

  4. Format check

    Page limits, fonts, margins, section order and required attachments are verified against the funder's instructions current on the day of delivery.

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

Electronic submission through the funder's portal, institutional sign-off, letters of support and the budget spreadsheet itself remain with you and your grants office.

Ordering and payment

Order and pay now by invoice for the level that fits, or press Request this service, send the call and your material, and pay after the first draft is delivered, only if it meets your expectations. The text may be submitted once payment is made. An official invoice and receipt are available for institutional accounts. Larger scopes are quoted before work starts.

Questions about this service

Which funders do you write for?

NIH, ICMR, DBT, Wellcome, UKRI, Horizon Europe, NHMRC and private foundations. For any other funder, send the call text and the work is done to that call's criteria and format.

How close to the deadline can I order?

Allow the turnaround shown for your level plus time for your own review and your institution's sign-off. Tell us the deadline in the brief so the schedule is fixed on day one.

Do you guarantee funding?

No. Funding decisions rest with the review panel and the funder. What is delivered is a proposal that answers each stated criterion within the rules of the call.

Who writes the science?

The ideas, aims and preliminary data are yours. The writer structures and argues them, and you approve every section before submission.
