Who We Serve
University research offices.
Consulting for sponsored programs and research development offices building better federal-grant assistance for their PIs.
The Audience
The office behind the PIs matters as much as any single PI.
University research offices — sponsored programs, research development, proposal support — carry a huge share of the load in helping faculty compete for federal grants. The strongest offices layer real reviewer-side perspective on top of their process and materials, not just administrative support.
Dr. Spotz consults with university research offices on exactly that layer, drawing on his eight years as a DOE ASCR program manager.
How Spotz Scientific helps
What that support looks like in practice.
- Review of your existing faculty-facing materials for DOE and NSF programs.
- PM-perspective internal review checklists for your staff readers.
- Workshops and debriefs for your DOE Early Career and NSF CAREER cohorts.
- Advisory on the shape of your office's federal-grant support work.
- Ongoing engagement across submission cycles.
