Grant Writing and Editing Resources

If you need assistance with drafting and revising your research proposal, ACHRI has writing and editing support for you. Contact Phaedra Yount or John Gregan when you know your plan for developing your grant application will require support for writing and editing. They will compare your schedule and theirs and contact you. Making them a part of your application development plan early will help your schedule run smoother and help you submit a clearer research plan.
