At Charlesworth Author Services we know that successful grant writing is both an art and a science.
Winning funding is a critical step for any research project, often the critical step. Teams cannot be built, projects initiated, or data collected without grant funding to support research; writing and winning funding application is a key component of any successful academic career. Indeed, your route to employment, tenure, and promotion likely depends on writing successful grant applications.
