Who We Serve
University faculty.
Individual professors seeking help with their research proposals — one-on-one consulting from a former federal program manager.
The Audience
Your proposal, read the way a program manager reads it.
Individual professors carry the full weight of a research proposal — the science, the narrative, and the strategy — often with little insight into how a funding agency will actually evaluate it. That is exactly the gap Dr. Spotz fills.
Working one-on-one, he reviews your draft the way a program manager and review panel would, helping you sharpen the case for support, address the posted review criteria, and position the work within the funding agency's priorities.
How Spotz Scientific helps
What that support looks like in practice.
- One-on-one review of your proposal draft against the posted review criteria.
- Strategic advice on which funding agency and program best fit your work.
- Feedback on framing the significance and broader impacts of your research.
- Guidance decoding prior peer-review comments and how to respond.
- Support across DOE, NSF, and other scientific research programs.
