Services

We lend fresh, practiced eyes to your project in order to make it as clear, concise and compelling as possible.

Unlike other grant writing consultancies, we provide hourly support to maximize our value without the need for commissions, unnecessary expenditures or long-term contracts. Operating within this framework, we can confidently provide assistance where the focus is on you and your company. We bridge the gap between what you believe you require for the growth of your company, and what a viable, winning proposal looks like. From the most basic, to a more complex mix, Brooks Consulting can offer your company the following services:

What follows are just a few examples of where we can help your team.

The Work Plan

Working alongside your team, Brooks Consulting drafts a custom work plan. Breaking the process down into digestible tasks with assigned personnel and due dates allows your team and ours the ability to become quickly oriented and engaged in productive communication.

Biosketches

We will assist you and your team in converting resumes/CVs to the agency-specific Biosketch format.  

Company/Team

This is where you should shine. By creating a detailed account of how each employee is able to contribute to the proposal, SBIR/STTR grant reviewers/committees will understand how well positioned your team is to effectively deploy their funding. Your team may experience reluctance in allowing themselves the space to stand out, but with Brooks Consulting's editorial and business experience, we will accurately delineate to reviewers why each member of your team is critical to the success of the proposed research plan.

Your Budget

We will employ our financial and small business experience to help you draft an appropriate and comprehensive budget and budget justification. Depending on your own expertise, this is often the hardest section of any SBIR/STTR grant application. Providing unnecessary detail, or too little will get your application flagged, and can plant serious doubt into the minds of those key decision makers. Phil Brooks has spent his career in accounting, finance and operational positions both inside and, as a trusted advisor, outside of businesses of every size. He knows what it costs to run a business. Using his financial acumen, Brooks Consulting can provide you with valuable advice on crafting or presenting your proposed budget as effectively as possible.

The Final Check

Alongside our business and editorial expertise, we will ensure that the documentation supporting your application is comprehensive and organized. A rejection based on something as trivial as selecting the wrong font or leaving out the references may result in a delay of six months waiting for the next grant submission deadline.
