We use our in-depth knowledge and expertise to support clients in refining and enhancing proposals toward competitiveness to expose their constituent groups (students, teachers, parents, and members) to cutting-edge STEM knowledge, technologies, and experiences.
Our Competitive Proposal Enhancement Process (CPEP) begins with understanding your ideas or plans to produce high-quality programs that result in measurable impacts.
Our Proposal Enhancement Center Managers will
Conduct a cultural audit
Interview your staff
Study your organization and past programming activities
Work with your team to create a program logic model and customized evaluation plan
Indicate the appropriate level of readiness to develop a competitive proposal
Determine cognitive and non-cognitive variables to measure
Make recommendations for producing a winning proposal
What Our Clients Say
Dr. Blackmon is an expert in evaluation but was able to explain the science of evaluation to the grant staff in a manner that allowed us to not only understand the process but also benefit from the results.
E. Friend
Executive Director
We collaborated on a National Science Foundation Grant that was funded and extremely successful in Florida. I don't believe we would have had the level of effectiveness and success without her knowledge base and understanding of STEM education. Our collaboration was special and inspirational.
L. Cook
Director Girls IT
Dr. Blackmon's thorough analysis of the impact of the results of prior NSF support at FSCJ has been invaluable in helping us secure new grant awards, including ATE projects related to Improving Technician Training in Automation Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing and ATE Project and another one on Enhancing Aviation Maintenance Technician Training with Nondestructive Testing Skill.
