Project Planning
The backbone to a great idea is the ability to articulate what, where, when, why, and how. Project planning comes before funder selection so that you can stay true to your research while later being flexible to the funder’s goals. You must choose your research and then find the funding opportunities that will support your trajectory. Our project planning services position you for a fundable future.
Appropriate Research Questions
What is it? Developing appropriate research questions are critical to fundable proposals, as they guide and center your research. To be considered appropriate research questions, they should always be filling a knowledge “gap” – regardless of your field of work. Questions should be clear, focused, and appropriately complex.
Because data is ultimately where you go with your research, it is invaluable to discuss your ideas with those who understand the analysis needs and the end goal. Our consultants can help you craft your FINER (feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant) research questions appropriately, with the end-goal in mind.
How can we help you?
- Soundboard and hone compelling questions, ideas, and concepts
- Assist in crafting the language of your questions with analysis in mind
- Identify potential directions from potential research findings
