Grants & Proposals

The Communications team can assist you with all stages of grant and proposal development. We aim to simplify the grant writing process and ensure that your proposal is clear, concise, and easy to understand.

Our Services

• Identify funding opportunities appropriate to THI investigators
• Edit proposals for grammar, style, consistency, and scientific content. This service is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so please send us your drafts early. We try to turn around specific aims pages and supporting documents within two business days. The research plan will take about 5 business days.
• Assist with preparing supplemental documents.
• Provide important submission details, such as deadlines, page limits, style requirements, and a list of required supplemental documents.
• Produce high-quality and easy to understand figures or tables.
