- Monitoring collaborative applications
- Clarifying the various steps in the application process (e.g. guidelines, checklists)
- Pooling information gained from previous initiatives
- Providing support with the review process (e.g. trial reviews, lists of questions).
We can also assist you with start-up financing for the application and checking applications and managing projects.
