Charlesworth's Grant Proposal Editing Services 

Grant funding is becoming more and more competitive, highlighing the importance of using every means available to increase the likelihood that your grant proposal will be favourably reviewed and awarded funding. Plus, funding bodies frequently use reviewers of applications who may not be subject specialists in your field. By using our editing services, we can help you ensure that your proposal's message and proposed methods are clear and easy to understand, even for a non-specialist. 

Many academics, early career researchers in particular, will underestimate their competition, who are more experienced at applying for grants and obtaining funding. Researchers should seek to gain every advantage possible when writing their grant proposals. 

Our Essential and Advanced grant proposal editing service includes comprehensive editing (spelling, grammar and punctuation) following your funding body guidelines. Using their experience, our editors will ensure language and presentation is writtten to give you the best chance possible with your chosen funding body. The Essential package includes  a word count reduction of up to 10% and the Advanced includes a word count reduction of up to 25%.  

Our experienced team will: 

• Study the funding agency guidelines;
• Examine the questions asked in the proposal;
• Review if your proposed research fits within the remit of the funding that you are applying for; 
• Review the key question your research aims to address and establish if this clear in your funding application;
• Advise you if you should include diagrams and figures to represent data collected and outcomes which will make it easier for a reviewer who is outside of your research field to assess your application. 

• Often, one of the first questions a grant proposal reviewer will be asked is: does the proposed research fit within the funding mandate? Make sure you have answers for all of the questions in the proposal as you put your application together.  European Union funding applications typically include several generic questions that address both the scope and impact of your research and the composition of your team. If you are able to access a proposal that was recently funded by the same agency. This will allow you to easily see both the shape and content of a successful application. The kinds of things that should, and should not, be included.
