Proposal Writing

Writing the Proposal Together

Having a promising research idea is only the beginning. The complex task lies in articulating it with precise KPIs, quantifying its impact, and outline a comprehensive implementation plan — all within a dense 45 pages. We work with you (and your partners) to:

• Shape your idea into a clear project concept
• Coordinate contributions from all team members
• Structure the proposal, from objectives to outcomes
• Author key sections like methodology, impact and implementation
  

We use templates that have proven to be successful over time across a variety of topics, but we write based on what makes sense for your specific proposal.

Budget and Work Plan Support

Money matters. The value for money is a key criterion in proposal evaluation. But financial negotiations with partners are hard. We help you build a well balanced budget aligned with your work plan and all call topic requirements. We will help you build a well-balanced budget that aligns with your work plan and all call topic requirements. We can help you with any funding model, whether based on unit cost, actual cost, or lump sum.

• We divide tasks and costs fairly among your team or partners
  
• We create timelines that actually work
  
• We make sure everything aligns with the funding call’s rules

Our role is to make sure the numbers and plans support your proposal, leveraging all applicable best practices.

Review Before You Submit 

Already drafted something? We can review it with fresh eyes:

• Give feedback on what’s missing or unclear
  
• Suggest ways to strengthen your argument
  
• Support revisions before submission or re-submission
  

We’re honest in our feedback, but always constructive.

We Support, You Lead 

We don’t write the scientific parts for you. That’s your field. But we’re here to help you make the project idea solid, structured, and fundable. We’re also happy to train your team if you’re taking on a coordinator role for the first time or struggle with providing your input as a partner.
