Our R&D Grant Writing Services
We have been writing EIC Accelerator grants since they were called “SME Instrument” with a success rate comparable with the market-leading consultants and freelancers. We work on a part up-front, part success-fee basis so that we are sharing the risk and reward with you.
We can:
- Lead the entire process – defining the project, sourcing partners, developing a budget, writing the grant application, developing the work plan, creating appendices, managing partners, submitting the application online, managing compliance, organising the kick-off meeting, financial reporting, technical reporting and project management.
- Work collaboratively – if you have a consortium and project, but need an experience grant writer to pull the content together to deliver a high-quality application – we can help. Native English speakers experienced in managing partners and creating outstanding content for a wide range of sectors.
- Improve a past submission – European grants are highly competitive – we can lead the process of improving past grant applications to get you over the line.
- Expert Review – We are happy to spend a few days reviewing / commenting / editing your grant application to lift your score as high as possible.

I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for all the nice work. Thank you for gently pushing us through it, despite us being busy all the time.”
