What Our Clients Say

  • [We] wanted to thank you once again for all of your guidance, comments, recommendations, nudging, etc., to get this proposal prepared and submitted. I know it sometimes seemed like we would never finish, but you did not give up on us and provided support to the end.

  • One of the most useful things we’ve done is to formalize the CI Plan – it’s something we’ve needed to do for a while but other things just kept taking priority. This process forced us to get it done.

  • [This process] opened up more of a strategic dialog with our STEM researchers, which has been very good as well. I hope to keep the dialog going regardless of the funding decision. There is much we can still do given the resources at hand.

  • I just thought you might want to know that we received official notification from NSF that we were awarded a $400,000 grant to improve our cyber infrastructure on campus.

  • Thank you for all your help, guidance, and support!

  • Nice work and thank you. This has shaped into a strong proposal. Research across all campuses will be accelerated.

  • Each one of you was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!!

  • I know we would not have been successful without your guidance and I wanted to say thank you once again!

  • Heartiest appreciation for getting us to the finish line.

  • Excellent idea ... And BTW you guys were great!
