Need A Critical Eye for Your Funding Applications?

Nov. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Complementary to its existing suite of CPD-accredited funding training courses, Idox Information Solutions has launched a new Bid Review Service to help organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to improve the quality of their bids.

Using our in-house team of trainers and associate consultants, we are able to apply a critical eye to client applications to ensure they are focused on funder objectives and that messages are clear and consistent.

The service offers access to seasoned funding professionals who:

• are specialists in particular areas, whether it be subject-led (such as the Environment, Education, Community Development) or programme-focused (such as the EU's Lifelong Learning Programme, FP7, Lottery, national Government or charitable trusts);
• can assess applications in an objective and dispassionate way; and
• can use their breadth of knowledge of different funding providers and previous successful applications to make sure client bids hit all the right notes.

Any staff member who has identified an appropriate funding opportunity and who is preparing an initial draft application will benefit from this service. Consultancy rates vary depending on the programme to which you’re applying and start at £650 plus VAT per day.

For an informal chat or for further information, please contact a member of the Idox Information Solutions training team on 0844 874 0739, training@idoxgroup.com, or visit the Bid Review Service pages at: http://www.grantfinder.co.uk/index.php?t=1&p=bidreviews.
