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
Logic models must succinctly articulate your program or research efforts in no more than 1 page. Distilling your content, in logic and text, proves a lengthy task.
Your idea must be relevent to the funder’s priorities, it must fill a KEY gap (articulating a specific research question and its intended impact), and must answer HOW it will fill this gap.
You want to build a team around you that help fill the gaps in your career (perhaps in relation to a specific research expertise, cross-industry perspective, grant management, etc.). Building a strong team provides the funder more confidence in your ability to successfully carry out your plans.
Your timeline should cover your proposal’s major milestones. Great timelines will also include those responsible at each point.
The most clear and succinct way to lay out a timeline is using a Gantt chart, built in Excel and pasted into Word. If the program is longer than a few months, the timeline should be presented landscape. If it must be divided between 2 pages, ensure the descriptions are included on the second page.
