For Grant-Funded Research

Scientific consulting you can expense

You already pay consultants for statistical analysis, use core facilities for specialized equipment, and contract biostatistics support for methodology review.

Pre-submission manuscript review is the same category of service — independent expert feedback to strengthen your research before it goes out the door.

What you get

A structured written evaluation covering:

Novelty and contribution assessment
Methodology and experimental design
Statistical analysis review
Clarity and presentation feedback
Figure-by-figure comments
Specific actionable recommendations

Delivered in 5-7 business days. Expedited options available.
