Testimonials

“It was my pleasure to collaborate with Zahra and Amy at UND’s Center for Innovation on the preparation of a recent grant submission. Zahra was terrific; she listened carefully as the team of investigators brainstormed and refined the grant objectives. Zahra did a wonderful job of translating the teams concepts and bulletpoint lists into a clear and cohesive narrative. Small details like formatting and identifying supporting references were also done well. Meanwhile, Amy provided excellent high-level leadership and experience as a PI, grant writer, and a member of funding review panels. Working with the Center for Innovation allowed us to quickly prepare a high-quality grant. I would be happy to partner with CFI again in the future, and I recommend their services to others.”

"I’m very impressed with the grant review service I received. The detailed feedback helped identify both the strengths and areas for improvement in our draft proposal. Zahra’s suggestions not only clarified our ideas but also improved the overall flow of the proposal. Her thorough revisions significantly enhanced the quality of our application. Additionally, the service was exceptionally timely, even when requested on short notice. For anyone seeking expert assistance to refine and strengthen their grant proposals, this service is excellent."

I cannot express in high enough terms the gratitude I have The Center for Innovation. Specifically the technical writing service has provided premier grant writing services to our fledgling corporation. We have a cutting edge idea and needed federal funding to help create a prototype for this concept. The Grant Writing Service provided expert advice and knowledge about the types of grants and the guidelines regarding application to each specific type of government funding program. They walk you through the pros and cons of each type of funding source. An analysis of your company’s specific needs and which program aligns with your corporate goals is crafted for your organization. The staff provides timely feedback and we received replies to our inquiries in 24-72 hours. When we ran into roadblocks, they provided legitimate alternatives to help move the process along to meet our schedule. The service also streamlined the budget development process and drafted complex documents such as Project Description, Project Summary, Technical Merit, Budgets and based on decades of experience and years of success in having grants approved, will tailor your documents to maximize your chances for grant approval. Again, I recommend the Center for Innovation Grant Writing Service with full throated vigor and cannot imagine our continued corporate success without their invaluable assistance.

"I have observed Zahra's work with companies in preparing federal grants. She excels at understanding the requirements and developing the initial frameworks for proposals. Zahra effectively engages all stakeholders, gathering their feedback and incorporating it into the final proposal. She is skilled at managing the project, ensuring timely alerts for both the business and academic sides. Additionally, her big-picture management skills are complemented by her active involvement in refining the writing aspects of the proposal and integrating inputs from various stakeholders."

Having worked with federal, state and private funders, I have learned that having a strong University partner can be one of the most critical components of an organization's funding schedule. When it comes to pro-business and research institutions, the University of North Dakota's team is second to none. UND's team coordination, the vertical integration of support systems the state offers, as well as the relevant research areas make North Dakota and UND an ideal funding and research partner. From advanced engineering, AI, Aerospace and Defense and other forms of emerging technologies, the team at UND is poised to have tremendous, continued success in the future.
