Preparing a successful proposal requires the juggling of a multitude of administrative tasks that consume valuable time that could be better spent in addressing the core science issues. Our management package provides advice and assistance at all stages of proposal preparation and streamlines the process using experienced project managers and online analysis and reporting tools. The package provides full experienced support at all stages of the proposal cycle, including

• Analysis of the application process and relevance of proposed research to the call.
• Identification of suitable partners, partner negotiation, and initial partner meeting.
• Creation of work packages, tasks, milestones and deliverables.
• Agreement on division of proposal preparation work, and assigning and management of individual contributions.
• Preparation and administration of a Master Project Preparation Schedule.
• Assistance in the setting up and development of proposal documents.
• Advice and analysis of proposal document content to optimise the overall impact of the proposal.

An fpManager package is the best way to ensure that you and your consortium partners have adequate time to concentrate on the core scientific issues, while still continuing to manage the work of proposal preparation without concerns about distracting administrative detail.
