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.
Need Assessments
What are they? A needs assessments is a systematic process of determining an organization’s or community’s needs – they identify what is missing. They are important because they help you determine the (knowledge, practices, skill) gaps that are preventing you from reaching your goals.
Our consultants have worked with many clients – academic, nonprofit, and business – on their needs assessments to develop, collect, analyze, and report data. Oftentimes, these needs assessments are for preliminary data necessary for a grant proposal, and for others, it is in partial requirement for the fulfillment of an awarded grant. Wherever you need assistance, we can help you.
