Strategy Development
Every awarded proposal started with a great idea and a specific strategy to get there. Sometimes, the idea needs crafting, and sometimes, the researcher needs someone to help them best position themselves for their future. Our capacity building services position you for a fundable future.
Coaching & Training
What is it? Coaching and training services are geared towards task-related activities. Coaches have expertise in the same field as people they are helping and work specifically with them for a specific need.
Coaching and training are about capacity building. Our coaching and training services can offer support through broader nuanced processes such as grant writing or through developing evaluation plans, or more task-specific items such as project alignment, logic model development, and developing appropriate research questions. Our consultants work with you where you are at, assuming you have a graduate-level understanding of the field. Our consultants work to empower you, the researcher, to feel more confident in your ability and skills.

Read MoreFAQ About Coaching & Training
Early career mentorship is having someone come alongside you that understands and has walked the research trajectory and is able to impart their knowledge, skills, and experience to help you grow and consider your options/choices.
Often, when leaving graduate school, you leave with theoretical training but no real-life, practitioner training. Applied statistics training provides academics and practitioners the knowledge around the real-life use of statistics.
The key to a strong logic model is the visual display of linkages, so text narrative should not replace the graphic. Strong proposals do provide a written description of logic model text in its narrative.
Generally, the logic model is one-page in length, which is why they can be tricky to do. Some funders do require double-spacing for all text, graphics included, which would make your logic model two pages.
Funders will often specify where to put them. If this is not provided, consider putting your logic model in the Project Design or Evaluation sections. Regardless, you will want to refer to it throughout your proposal.
