o Clarifying the various steps in the application process (e.g. guidelines, checklists)
o Pooling information gained from previous initiatives
o 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.
