At
Squirrel Scribe we are proficient writers of
technical English with firsthand experience
of both science editing and proposal writing.
We also have a deep understanding of the scientific
enterprise, because we’re scientists,
too.
Regardless of funding agency,
both experts in your field and non-experts
will almost certainly be called upon to judge
your application. Therefore, your proposal
should be comprehensible to expert and non-expert
alike, and we will review it with this in
mind.
To ensure that your proposal
is coherent, concise and focused we will:
|
- Edit
spelling, grammar and punctuation.
- Check
word choice and usage.
- Remove
superfluous words and other redundancies.
- Reorganize
to improve coherence, if necessary.
- Ensure
the descriptions of, and rationale for, your
experiments are clearly presented.
- Be
watchful for scientific discrepancies.
- Review
all tables, figures and figure legends.
- Ensure
your proposal complies with funding agency
guidelines (as best we can and where such
guidelines can be made available to us).
For
a free, no-obligation price quote, simply send
us your “finished” proposal by attaching
it to our Online
Quote form or email it as an attachment
to quote@squirrelscribe.com.
Please
include all parts of the proposal pertaining
to science. You need not include, but may do
so, the budgetary and administrative parts of
the grant application.
We
will endeavor to respond with a price
quote by the next business day. We can accept
PDF files for price quotes; however, for editing
we will require a word processing file of your
grant proposal.
We
can edit proposals in either Word or WordPerfect,
both Windows and Mac formats. When submitting
a proposal for editing, please state the word
processor software and version used. Also, tell
us the name of the granting agency and type
of award you are seeking.
We
will make every effort to have your proposal
returned to you, fully edited, within 5-7 business
days. Longer times may be required where extensive
rewriting is needed. Also, in some cases it
may be necessary to contact you for clarification
of certain points about the proposal, and this
may add a day or more to the turnaround time.
If we require more extensive commentary from
you, we may return your (partially) edited proposal
for your comments and then have you return it
to us for a final edit, without additional charge
to you. At Squirrel Scribe we are committed
to giving you both excellent service and value. |
