Applying for research funding in the natural sciences? I've got you!
Send me your draft and I'll read it closely, then send it back with comments and suggested edits on structure, clarity and how convincing it reads. Afterwards, we'll catch up on a one-hour video call and go through it together. No draft yet? We can also use the hour to shape your proposal.
I'm a neuroscientist, and applying for grants has been part of my job for the last 14 years. Some lessons came the hard way, others from proposals that got funded.
Don't just take my word for it:

– Your ideas stay confidential
– No funding guarantees, just honest, careful feedback
