What our clients say about us
“Phil recently helped us with an SBIR Phase II grant application. In addition to providing excellent feedback to help create the proposal content itself, Phil also has good commercial instincts that helped to guide the overall proposal strategy. Phil’s knowledge of the submission process helped to overcome some last minute hurdles and successfully meet the submission deadline.”
“Phil was a phenomenal resource in preparing our Phase 1 SBIR application to the NSF.
From setting up a detailed workplan and timeline ensuring we would submit on time, to strategic planning of the specific aims, to detailed questions of how to navigate the NSF Fastlane website, Phil was extremely knowledgeable and helpful at every step of the process.
I was very happy with the assistance Phil provided in preparing for an SBIR submission and hope to work with him again in the future. I would absolutely recommend his firm to anyone looking for assistance with an SBIR proposal.”
“Philip and Jan of Brooks Consulting are absolutely incredible! I engaged Brooks Consulting to help me edit my NSF Phase II grant. They were incredibly thorough and their recommended changes were on point. They went above and beyond my expectations and provided helpful resources outside of what they were hired to do, helping me make valuable connections. Philip continues to keep in touch and forward me useful resources. You always know you have found the right consultant when they continue to keep you in mind beyond the engagement! No matter what the outcome of our NSF award, I know that I submitted a solid proposal with the help of Philip and Jan.”
“Brooks Consulting was invaluable as we prepared our first ever SBIR submission. Having previously guided many SBIR teams through the entire process, Phil and Jan were incredibly organized and delivered on every deadline. After our SBIR submission, our team re-hired Brooks Consulting to assist with our PFI-TT application. Put simply, we know we are in great hands with Phil and Jan and will always reach back out for future SBIR, STTR, and PFI grant submissions. ”
“I worked with Phil and Jan when my company was applying for a Phase II SBIR grant from the NSF. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and quickly helped to organize our approach towards creating a winning proposal. I found their feedback to be salient, strategic, and very useful. I highly recommend Phil for anyone seeking technical grant writing support!”
“As the primary representative from our company that was in the process of submitting our first STTR proposal, Brooks Consulting prepared us with the appropriate steps and necessary insight to complete our application. Phil and Jan were readily available to address our questions and were quick to offer suggestions and solutions. Their review of our documentation was meticulous and comprehensive. Additionally, they were astute in the submission process which gave our team great confidence in completing our application. I look forward to working with Phil and Jan in the future.”
“Phil was invaluable to Pharmateck LLC as we applied for our first NIH and NSF SBIR Phase I grants. We were completely new to the grant process but with Phil’s guidance and tremendous grant project management, we were approved for both grants. During our NSF SBIR Phase II submission development, both Phil and Jan were outstanding at managing the tight timeline and keeping everyone on task. Phil and Jan’s attention to detail, has us confident we’ll be successful on this one too!”
“Brooks Consulting assisted Lumis with our NIH SBIR Phase I application. Phil provided key insights about planning, logistics, and best practices to help make our application very competitive. He and his team were able to work within our time constraints and provided thorough reviews of multiple drafts with quick turnarounds. They were also able to coordinate quality letters of support that I believe increased our potential for success. Phil provided weekly updates on burn to help us appropriately manage our budget for the project. I would highly recommend working with Brooks Consulting if you need external grant writing support! ”
“Phil recently assisted with our company’s first Phase I SBIR submission. Not only did Phil do a terrific job working with our team to craft a great submission, but he also helped to teach us about the SBIR process, gave advice regarding contract management, and helped us develop a strategy for navigating the SBIR system. Based on Phil’s work with our team we were awarded a Phase I contract with the US Navy as a part of the Department of Defense SBIR program. I am looking forward to working with him again in the near future! ”
“Phil was very organized and detail-oriented. He helped us in preparing a DOT SBIR that has many fine details to be followed. He assisted in the preparation, editing, and review of the proposal. He worked closely with my team and me during this process to ensure all items were completed properly. Phil is very committed to his work and even put in extra hours to ensure that the proposal was submitted on time. In addition to his work ethic, Phil is a respectful person and easy to work alongside. I would work with Phil again in the future and would recommend him to others.”
“Thank you Phil for your consulting services in preparing a Phase II STTR commercialization/transition plan! I enjoyed working with you and was extremely pleased with the service you provided and the number of business leads that you were able to generate under an extremely tight deadline. As you know the proposal was indeed selected for an award!”
