One of the most challenging stages when you want to apply to calls for proposals for European funds can be the proper justification and argumentation of the project’s necessity.
We often see applicants who are very passionate about their project idea. They frequently have practical experience that gives them confidence in their approach. Unfortunately, just as often, they struggle to provide credible data and arguments to support their ideas. These gaps are frequently identified late, and project proposals are submitted with general justifications that do not convince evaluators.
To improve these situations, we have developed an optional service at the project application writing stage: justificatory research. We can support you with desk research using publicly available analyses and statistics from official sources.
To carry out the justificatory research needed to prepare a funding application, we use a simplified research methodology to properly apply to calls for proposals. We can support you with desk research of documents, policies, studies, and reports available in your field of activity.
The stages we follow:
When you also carry out a general strategic analysis for applying to non-reimbursable funding, you can assess whether the development directions you are considering require new research in your field of activity. In many cases, data is missing or not available for the area or level of detail you need for your projects. In such situations, we recommend preparing research projects to generate the required data. In many cases, these research stages can themselves be funded through European funds, either as standalone research projects or as components of more complex projects.
When you strongly wish to obtain funding for a particular idea, it is worth paying special attention to the research stage to apply to calls for proposals with higher chances of success. Whether you rely on external support or use internal resources, the knowledge gained in this way will bring benefits over a much longer period than the simple stage of drafting a project proposal.
“One of the survey respondents contacted me to say that they appreciated how intelligently the questionnaire was designed and that they wanted to discuss leadership solutions.” - Client from Israel who, following research carried out with us, signed a new client contract.
You can select the optional service “Justification research for your project” in the price calculator when configuring funding proposal writing services for an already identified call for proposals. This makes your work in when you apply to calls for proposals even easier.
