Project Consultancy
Support with experimental design, literature, methodology and proposal writing, from the idea stage through to publication.
About the service
Project consultancy aims to turn your research idea into a feasible and defensible study. Working with experienced advisers, the literature review, methodology, work-package planning and risk analysis are addressed together.
Support ranges from clarifying the research question to justifying budget items, and from building the work–time schedule to writing the application text. Whether you are a university student, researcher or academic, applications to funding programmes are prepared with the completeness of the file and the evaluation criteria in mind.
