About this Gig

Strengthen the clarity, structure, and competitiveness of your scientific grant proposal


Strong proposals often fall short not because of weak ideas, but because of unclear narrative, poor alignment between aims and methods, or lack of reviewer-focused framing. I help researchers refine their proposals to improve clarity, logical flow, and persuasive impactwhile preserving scientific accuracy and author voice.


I bring 30+ years of academic research and grant experience, including:

  • Former Endowed Professor of Biology
  • $2.2M+ in competitive research funding
  • Funding from NSF, USFWS, USGS, Duke Energy, and private foundations
  • 140+ peer-reviewed publications
  • 8 scholarly books with major academic presses
  • NSF panel reviewer; proposal reviewer for multiple agencies


This service helps improve:

  • Narrative clarity and logical flow
  • Alignment of aims, methods, and impact
  • Strength of significance and broader impacts
  • Reviewer readability and evaluation clarity
  • Overall competitiveness for funding

Ideal for:

  • Draft proposals
  • Resubmissions and revisions
  • Interdisciplinary funding calls
  • Early-stage narrative development
