Grant Writing

Grants. The lifeblood of many provider organizations. Rooted in a strong grant strategy and nourished by your ideas, I can find funding opportunities and prepare competitive proposals to support the programmatic and financial growth of your organization.

Grant writing, and more specifically grant seeking, is a journey that requires careful planning, organizing, and executing against stringent formats and (sometimes) tight deadlines. To be given fair consideration for funding, your mission and that of your prospective funder must be in lockstep and the purpose of the grant announcement must align with demonstrated need. Over the years, I have seen organizations with a formal grant strategy experience more success in their funding pursuit than those without one because a grant strategy is proactive and prevents wasting valuable time pursuing mismatched funding opportunities. Together, we will partner to build your formal grant strategy. I will identify those opportunities for which you will have a high likelihood of receiving funding and will then write the grant proposal, with your input on designing new programs or services, planning for implementation, and building sustainability.
 
If you have a grant writer on staff and would like an external, objective review of drafts prior to submission, I provide adjunctive grant preparation. From basic proofreading to mock scoring, I will review your draft, provide recommendations for correcting typos and unclear statements, and suggest other edits for improved cohesion. As a seasoned grant reviewer, I am always hunting for the golden thread – that critical connection among all sections of the grant proposal. If you’ve dedicated an abundance of time and energy into completing a draft, don’t allow grammatical errors, typing mistakes, formatting issues, or the missing golden thread to harm what would otherwise be a fundable score.

Data Analysis

Whether you are seeking to demonstrate outcomes and move toward measurement-based care or monitor and improve internal performance, analyzing data accurately and making timely and relevant interpretations that benefit your business is at the core of our work.

The demand for balancing quality care against productivity and efficiency never has been greater. My philosophy on data analysis rests in the imperative that results should have real world applicability, which is why I approach this work collaboratively, with you. You know the questions that need to be answered, and I am prepared to help you answer them. From working with a single data set to designing and executing full program evaluations or performance improvement initiatives, my expertise will help you bridge clinical and operational issues providing meaningful takeaways and practical recommendations.

Content Preparation

Your accomplishments need to be shared with multiple audiences. Conference presentations and articles in peer-reviewed journals or other professional publications are two of many options. I provide all aspects of preparation from slide design and writing to basic editing and proofreading.
 
You’ve been there before. You have important information to share with colleagues at a professional conference, but you and your team don’t have time to draft and submit a proposal, let alone prepare a full presentation. Perhaps you have greater interest in sharing that information through other channels such as placing an article in a trade magazine, or publishing in a journal followed by a summary that would be appealing to those who visit your website. I have created conference presentations and written material for audiences ranging from physicians to counselors to family members, and I understand how to tailor content and presentation style to specific audiences. Sometimes all you need is a helping hand to move from ideas to tangible deliverables.
