We help our clients strengthen their grant proposals — especially when bioinformatics is a key component.

While we don’t offer standalone grant-writing services, we regularly support researchers preparing applications built on our prior or ongoing work.

In our early years, we received many requests for letters of support and grant assistance. But writing grants is time-intensive, and as a commercial organization, we need to prioritize work that is clearly within our scope.

That’s why our policy is this: we only provide grant-writing assistance to researchers who have previously worked with us, or are currently working with us. In other words — our existing clients.

For those researchers, we’re happy to:

- Provide letters of support outlining our role and resources
- Help frame analysis plans and estimate scope and cost
- Offer guidance on bioinformatics strategy and feasibility
- Answer reviewers’ technical questions if awarded

This approach ensures we’re investing time in researchers we already understand — and who know how we work. It also allows us to offer the most relevant and tailored input.

We’ve made rare exceptions — for example, when a researcher urgently needed to replace a collaborator due to unforeseen circumstances. But in general, the best way to secure our grant support is to begin with a small project first.

If you’re a new investigator and struggling to fund even a small project, don’t hesitate to reach out. We may be able to offer informal feedback or limited guidance, time permitting.
