Reason #9: We will assist you in grant writing

 

There was a time early on in AccuraScience's operations when our Lead Bioinformaticians (LBs) received numerous requests from researchers to assist with grant writing and often included a request for a support letter. They tried to help as much as they could, but eventually they found themselves spending a considerable amount of time writing grants for researchers. As a commercial operation, AccuraScience has to generate revenue and it is not ideal for the NIH or other funding agencies to see AccuraScience signing off on support letters without doing much actual work.

As a result, our company policy was established such that our LBs would only provide assistance in grant writing to our "existing clients" - researchers with whom AccuraScience has completed or is currently working on a bioinformatics project. We apologize to other researchers, but this is our policy.

There are rare exceptions to this policy. One occurred in the summer of 2015 when a researcher was working on a resubmission of a R01 application (which had received a promising score on the first submission) and one of their co-investigators, a bioinformatician, passed away and the researcher urgently needed a replacement.

We do want to help, but we have to set our priorities. If you would like our help with your grant application, the best way to do so is to start a project with us, even a small one, so that you become one of our "existing clients".

If you are a new investigator struggling to fund even a small bioinformatics project and would like an LB to spend an hour or two giving your application some attention, don't hesitate to reach out. We can't make any promises, but an LB may be able to do it in their spare time.
