TESTIMONIALS

I’m a grants consultant, not a singer, so I don’t like to sing my own praises. My satisfied customers are better at that.

Here’s what they had to say:

“I would like to wholeheartedly thank you for your tremendous help and guidance in writing an NIH grant.
Approximately two months ago I turned to [company] for help in submitting an NIH grant proposal. I had presumed that the bulk of the work and help would be with the administrative and organizational aspects of completing the many forms and coordination with the right bodies. I was very pleased to learn that a central component of the help was with very professional writing and scientific editing, which helped significantly improve the organization of the application and its scientific presentation and enhanced the quality of the application by several levels.
I would note that writing grants is usually perceived as a very stressful time, whereas the submission of this application to NIH, which has some of the most complex and demanding requirements in terms of organization and exceptionally high scientific rigor, was a significant learning experience for me.
Moreover, the knowledge that at every step along the way and at all times of day (and night leading up to the submission), I could get feedback and advice, has further contributed greatly to the quality of the final application.
I have no doubt that if I could, I would utilize [your] assistance again and recommend my colleagues to turn to you for help and guidance.”

— Prof. Uri Ashery, Department of Neurobiology, Tel Aviv University

“Ron is a fantastic editor and writer. He is a true partner in the proposal writing. He grasps scientific/data concepts quickly and develops a perspective on the essence of the proposal quickly. Then the work is to sharpen the story. He asks thought provoking questions to help refine the concepts and then pushes you to quantify the impact/effort, which makes the proposal more compelling and credible. While he is very clear about not being the expert himself, he is very supportive and takes care of the administrative sections, copy editing of the whole proposal and end-to-end submission process so you can focus on content development. We wrote a very compelling proposal together and I have sought him out to work together since that first experience.”

— Vimala Raghavendran, VP/ Product Manager

“I just want to say a big THANK YOU for working with me on this application. It’s extremely important to us and I’m so very thankful that it’s YOU and not someone else who was assigned to me on this… I like the quality of your work which to me is the most important. You are concise, to the point, and ready to dive deep on the subject!”

— Juliana Elstad, CEO, Impleo Medical

“I just wanted to send you a note to thank you again for your tremendous effort to help us file the NIAID contract on time. As you have learned, we have semi-virtual skeleton staff, and it meant that we really needed to coordinate efforts and a fair amount of managing. You managed to guide us through this with grace, patience and very little sleep. We really could not have accomplished this grant on our own, even with twice the time and at half the quality. Again, thank you for your help!"
“I wanted to acknowledge Ron’s expertise, work ethic and quality deliverables. He is extremely professional and well-organized and we cannot believe how much he accomplished in such a short period of time. It has been a pleasure to work with him and we have nicknamed him “the Machine”. We look forward to continuing to work with you.”
“I just finished reading through the…grant which was a pleasure and hit all my 3 Cs: clear, concise, & complete. Thank you so much….Once again, GREAT JOB!”
“The application is very well written, possesses superb grantsmanship, and is clearly outlined.”
(quote from a summary statement following review)
“A special thanks to you for the hard work, late nights and patience of Biblical proportions. I know we can be difficult at times but the science and applications get nothing but stronger.”
“Ron, absolutely splendid job of persistence and attention to EVERY detail.”
“I have written many grant proposals to many scientific funds during my long academic career, but this one has been the most exciting one for me….The contribution and support of Ron…is outstandingly incredible and so remarkable. We have learned so much from you. Thanks so much.”
“When discussing this project and what I needed…I stressed that I wanted someone assigned who would have opinions and a plan, and that is exactly what I got.”
“I, along with the entire…team, very much appreciate your effort and patience on this project, especially considering that we initiated this project only a few weeks before the deadline. With your guidance, I feel this application is much stronger than if we were to generate it on our own.”
“It was a pleasure…for us to work with you. I really appreciate your dedicated and sophisticated improvements and like the process of iterating adjustments. The application is well elaborated...I especially appreciate your dedication as I heard not earlier than the day before yesterday that you’re planning your wedding next week. Therefore, I can imagine there are even more important tasks at the moment than this application.”
“It is an amazing collection of work - thank you for your extensive work, drafting, editing, coordinating, collating, and submitting. A herculean effort.”
“It was truly a pleasure working with you….If we get this grant it will be in large part due to your professional, meticulous and kind assistance. I sincerely hope we will work on other projects sooner rather than later.”
“I wanted to thank you for all the work and support during this application. I know I was freaking out last week and didn't think we'd make it, but you really helped us through that. I greatly appreciated your hard work, commitment and friendly demeanor over the last weeks. I know it was a lot of work around the clock, especially these last days. I think too that we have a nice package, let's see how this will turn out.”
“Thank you for working around the clock with me to get every last change in place. I was impressed with the quality and efficiency of your work.”
“I must say….I am impressed. This was a heroic effort with a very short time line. I was unsure if we could get all the pieces in place in time. To that end, I compliment Ron Littman. He was the point man on the effort. There were several times when I just wanted to strangle him! But his professional and persistent demeanor helped us get this done. Thank you Ron…a job well done.”
“No need to tell you all that what we accomplished this week was pretty impressive...and importantly, the grant tells a very compelling story about our ability and progress to develop a test that will be truly meaningful in the fight against this epidemic. Special thank you to our partners at [company] who helped us navigate the process (and provided 24 hour coverage). We could not have done this without you.”
"I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts with the grant over the past few days. We appreciate all of your guidance and suggestions. It was great we were able to get this done under an expedited timeline, especially working with a collaborator. Thank you for keeping us focused and on-task as well making our grant better!“
“I am extremely pleased with the way the grant turned out and much of this is owed to you.”
“Ron, thanks for everything, as always. Your insights and direct questions always ensure a much stronger submission than would be w/out your support.”
“Thank you, Ron, for everything - your support, your guidance, and your push to create the best product possible.”
“Thank you so much for your support during the preparation process! I greatly appreciated your help and your commitment to meet the submission deadline. I found it interesting to see how you interpreted the grant requirements and guided us all along the process.”
“I would just like to say thank you…especially to Ron for doing an excellent job on our SBIR application….Ron put in some really long hours at the end and the product reflects his good work.“
“Thank you for your tremendous help in preparing the proposal. I know that your critiques made it considerably stronger.”
“Just wanted to say thanks, you've been quite an asset in helping me get this together. This was my first grant submission and don't think it would have been submitted on time if I was on my own.”
“Ron, thanks again for working so hard on our behalf and getting this superb application submitted.”
“Thanks for a fantastic job. This was a big effort and we submitted a very nice application.”
“Thanks Ron, for all of your help and especially your critical eye.”
“Great job Ron, putting everything together and polishing up the proposal at such short notice.”
“Ron, especial thanks for your ability to see things clearly, put things in perspective, and ability to herd cats.”
“It was a pleasure working with you and the entire team on this. Thank you for your hard work, attention to detail, and seeing this submission through.”
“Thank you so much for your hard work, expert guidance, and sage advice over the last few weeks. As always, it has been a pleasure working with you on this application.”
“Thanks, Ron! We would not be able to do it so well without you!”
“Thanks much for your help, I could not have done this without your help!”
