Areas of Expertise

• Grant Writing and Advising

  I have been successful in procuring non-dilutive grant funding for my own medical research and for others from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Defense (DoD). I have also been a grant reviewer so I have a thorough understanding of the review process.

  In 2010, Gareth pulled together disparate spreadsheet info and verbiage into a coherent, logical grant request package for submission to to DARPA on time. This wasn't easy, considering that there were three separate learning institutions involved, together with our little company. If you need similar help responding to governmental grant request, I don't hesitate to recommend Gareth.
