Clinical Research Grant Writing
At Blue Haven Grant Consultants, we specialize in helping small companies and startups in clinical research and drug development get the funding they need through effective grant writing services. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is often a good fit because its non-dilutive funding won't cost you money. While this funding is beneficial, it faces fierce competition. Our team understands the science and can help you communicate the benefits to support commercialization.
Why Drug Development Proposals Require Specialized Expertise
While you have deep scientific insights into your drug development, reviewers are looking for commercial potential. The lack of connection between these areas is a significant clinical research grant pitfall. Professional grant writing enables you to showcase this potential more effectively while meeting all the unique demands of a complex medical industry.
Navigating the Complex Compliance Landscape
Grant proposals must meet strict guidelines set by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other organizations. These rules include page limits, particular forms, and other details. Your team may have limited time and resources to stay up to date, but we have the in-depth expertise to get the details right and avoid rejections due to technicalities.
Crafting a Commercial Narrative That Sells the Science
As a scientist, you may be prone to dive deep into the science of how a proposed drug or therapy works. However, reviewers care more about the potential impact. Grant writers can help distill complex science into a concise and persuasive story.
Overcoming the Significance Hurdle for Reviewers
Those seeking SBIR grants must demonstrate that their drug solves a particular market failure. The NIH has a specific definition of significance with many facets. The organization aims to determine which application is most worth the allocation of grant funds. Grant writers can help showcase your understanding of the problem and the potential impact of your research.
Our Clinical Research Grant Proposal Writing Services
Our team at Blue Haven Grant Consultants helps translate technical ideas into tangible benefits, enhancing your chances of securing funding. We support every aspect of your grant application process, from in-depth analysis to administrative support.
Phase I: From Concept to Submission
We can support you throughout every stage of Department of Health and Human Services grant consulting, not just writing. Our work begins with the feasibility. During this step, we complete the following actions:
Project evaluation: Before writing, we assess your project to determine whether it is ready for a grant application and aligned with applicable standards.
Proposal preparation: This stage is our core writing service. We use a proprietary Significance-Innovation Analysis™ to distill your project to its core propositions for effective communication with NIH reviewers.
Proposal review: After you submit your grant application, we can help you interpret the impact score you receive and the summary statement. Then, we can draft a summary statement response. Our team can also work with you to prepare and submit any additional documents that may be required.
Project completion: If you receive the grant, we can help you with the subsequent steps, such as completing a Phase I report and evaluating your preparation for Phase II. In the event of an unfavorable outcome, we can help you strategize for future grant opportunities.
Phase II: Scaling to Commercialization
Phase II is the research and development or clinical trial stage, where you can secure a larger grant to continue with your work. During renewal, we can help you integrate findings and progress from your Phase I report into your Phase II application. Our drug grant writing consultants can also develop a strong commercialization plan to explore the market potential of your drug and gather letters of support.
If you've already completed initial research and development, we can evaluate your eligibility for a Direct-to-Phase II grant application. Then, we can conduct a Significance-Innovation Analysis™, present preliminary data, craft aims and milestones, and assemble application materials.
