Testimonials

 "This process is absolutely and greatly helpful, and I especially appreciated your deep thoughts and comments!!"  

“I would like to express my deep appreciation for your effort in helping my preparation of the application. In addition to polishing my grantsmanship, your suggestions and comments on my research plan were instrumental, which greatly improved my application over previous submissions.” 

“You’re the best thank you – I think both of you really helped me a lot. I realize now how muddled it sounded originally!” 

You “provided very thoughtful comments and advice on several of my grant applications. (OORHS) help played a critical role in obtaining this NSF grant.”  

“I have submitted three R01 grant applications, two of them will be reviewed soon and the third one will be early next year. For each of them, I got valuable help from [OORHS] regarding scientific reasoning, grantsmanship, and even English editing. [OOHRS] often went out of the way to look up the literature to find papers related to my grant applications.”
