Solutions to optimize your strengths for greater purpose.

• Need funding support for your community initiatives?
• Desire grant writing support but can't hire a full-time grant writer?
• Want someone who has years of experience to produce the highest rate of return on submissions? 
• Are you a non-profit trying to do it all on your own but need some help?

A grant writer is defined as a writer, analyst, strategist, and researcher. Our grant writing focuses on the specific non-profit, organization, program, and/or a clinical researcher to guide them in a successful funding plan.

Even when organizations have their own grant support, there’s often a lack of time and depth available to find more funding and fully guide a new proposal. We help all institutions and professionals who need support. The benefits of hiring a grant writer at $80/hr include:

• Outcome driven with on time submissions
• Experience in researching and writing funding proposals
• Knows the ins and outs of various application systems

Dr. McCarroll has 25 years of clinical research experience. Recently, she was the Chief Research Officer & Institutional Official at a health sciences university. She has experience writing for federal (NIH, NSF, PCORI, NASA, HUD, SAMHSA, DOT, SBIR, DOE, HRSA, CMS, USDA, etc.) and non-federal grants for non-profit and for-profit clients with experience in healthcare, clinical research, space medicine, medical education, higher education, community development, and workforce development. 

Her top two CliftonStrengths are execution and relationships. These strengths facilitate programs to capitalize and monetize their ideas to make them happen. Examples include:

• $1.95 million grant from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
• $250,000 from the Ohio Department of Health Community and Faith-based Infant and Maternal Health Support Services 
• $198,000 from the Cuyahoga County Board of Health 
• $77,600 from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) fund
• $35,000 from a Section 4 Capacity Building Grant (CFDA #14.252), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 
• $25,000 from Sun Life’s Team Up Against Diabetes grant program

We develop priority funding matrices to assist non-profit organizations to strategically apply for federal and non-federal funding to supporting their initiatives.  The matrix provides a general landscape view of funding possibilities as well as helps to narrow a scope of work.  In addition, the matrix may also uncover aspects not fully realized prior to the research. Essentially, a funding matrix is a good centerpiece for discussion and strategy building for:

• Content Specific Funding
• Priority Assessment
• Literature Reviews
• Grant Writing
• Grant Submissions
