Ayming’s Grant Writing Service is a one-off engagement with our expert team designed to increase your chances of securing a winning grant for a particular funding opportunity — whether for an R&D innovation or a capital investment project.

What does a grant writing engagement include?

  • We provide complete application support to cover all stages of the grant writing process, from drafting through to submission of a successful application for innovation or investment grants.
  • We work closely with you to create appealing, clear grant proposals that  showcase your project — whether it’s a cutting-edge innovation or a major capital investment — in a way that engages and excites the grant assessors.
  • We identify and overcome gaps early in the process, such as identifying project partners and subcontractors, using strong project management skills to increase the chances of success.
  • We define tasks and work packages alongside the project costing, delivering practical and convincing details supported by robust grant-writing skills.
