Grants & Collaborative Research
From idea to impact
Scope & fit
We assess feasibility, map funding options (EU, FWO, NIH, foundations, industry), and align aims, timelines, and eligibility.
Strategy & partners
We help position your project, assemble the right consortium, define roles, and assist you in planning data/ethics/GDPR from day one.
Proposal development
From concept note to full application: we are here to help outline objectives, work packages, methods, milestones, budget, management, and exploitation/impact. We draft, edit, and harmonize across partners.
Review & polish
We run internal reviews to stress-test significance, feasibility, and clarity. We optimize figures, narratives, and evaluation criteria responses.
Submission & follow-up
We manage forms, letters, and portals; coordinate signatures; and guide rebuttals to reviewer feedback.
Post-award support
Finally, we provide advice on how to manage the research project and approach post-award duties such as scientific reporting, data management, and ethical approval.
Strengthening our collaborative fabric
Many projects are co-led by multiple PIs, and PhD/postdoc tracks feature dual mentorship. We help connect CMN expertise to international consortia across Europe and the US (e.g., EADB, EMIF, BELNEU, Epi25), ensuring proposals and deliverables land on time and to spec.
