5- Funders: You really need to get to know each of them individually.
     a. What have they funded in the past?
     b. How much do they usually give?
     c. Send a letter of intent.

Client Testimonials

I cannot express how impressed I was with the work Elite Research provided. I contacted them for assistance drafting a paragraph and diagrams for a the proposed analysis section of a grant proposal I was submitting. From the start, [my consultant] was focused and provided incredibly thorough, yet prompt feedback. She was very thoughtful and her advice and insights substantially improved the grant proposal. And, of course, her theoretical and applied knowledge about advanced statistics was among the best I've encountered. It was worth every penny and I will absolutely use the service again. You won't regret your decision to use them.

Assistant Professor at an Ivy League Institution

My experience with [my consultants] from Elite Research, LLC was better than I ever expected. I had a big data analysis project do for school and [my consultant] worked extensively with me on the project. I could have not asked for a better person to help me. Elite Research, LLC always kept their word, acted professional, and provided prompt service. I would recommend them for all your data analysis needs.

S. F., College Student

I had the great pleasure of collaborating with [my consultant] and the folks at Elite Research, LLC, on the writing of a grant proposal. The agency to which we submitted requires a high level of methodological and statistical sophistication, and Elite's help was invaluable. It ended up being a much stronger proposal thanks to them!
