In the last round of investigator grants, 29% of our clients were successful!
We help researchers provide a clear and compelling grant application.
In particular, the NHMRC Investigator Grant track record sections require the applicant to write about the impact of previous research. We have found that many researchers have difficulty in working out how to approach each of the three impact sections. The assessment criteria for these elements outlines clearly the need to develop and articulate your outputs, outcomes and the impact of a previous program of work.
Writing about your previous impact requires a different approach than typical scientific writing and must be in a language that can be understood by a range of reviewers, this type of writing can be difficult to master.
We work with you to map out your impacts so that you can master each of the three impact elements of your track record. In 2019 we worked with over 100 researchers with a success rate of more than 29%.
In addition, we can help with your leadership elements or even the entire grant application. When reviewing grants we have found there is often a lack of clarity around knowledge gain and a research vision that is not exciting to read.
Let us help you succeed.

Feedback from our consulting clients
The support I received from Tamika and the RIA for my Investigator Grant impact story was amazing – from the simple cheat sheets that clearly outlined what to include in each impact section, understanding the logic model, to the one-on-one consultation of my impact story. Tamika helped me to refine and provide clarity to the statements, that I was overlooking. I saw my impact story in a whole new light following these sessions and my application was greatly improved.
A/prof Hannah Moore, Telethon Kids Institute
Thank you very much for your support and expert assistance reviewing my investigator grant this year. Your comments were exceptional – thorough and considered. You highlighted areas of my application that needed refinement to better align with the scoring criteria. These improvements can make all the difference in a competitive grant scheme. Thank you once again and I look forward to consulting you again for future grants.
Danielle Wurzel, Melbourne University
I really enjoyed working with the RIA on my NHMRC Investigator Grant impact and leadership sections. The feedback was framed positively and I got lots of practical tips to finesse each section. I came away feeling much more confident about how I was presenting myself.
