Proposals

Funding | Research Proposal Development (Companies):

Application development for scientific funding proposals require strong technical justification, clear research logic, and realistic implementation plans. Totally Seaweed helps both companies and funding agencies by providing expert support, evaluation, and scientific clarity.

Background supporting research: The scientific foundation needed for competitive proposals must be carefully sourced. This includes literature reviews, biological rationale, preliminary data interpretation, and alignment of your project with current scientific knowledge and industry needs.
Development of research statement of work: A well-defined Statement of Work (SOW) is central to any strong proposal. Projects require clear objectives, methodologies, milestones, deliverables, and metrics, ensuring the project is realistic, fundable, and aligned with agency expectations.
Identification of funding programs/bodies: Totally Seaweed assists in identifying the most suitable funding programs for your goals regional, national, or international. These can include innovation grants, research partnerships, sustainable aquaculture programs, and industry-academia collaboration opportunities.

Research Funding Proposal Evaluation (Funding Bodies | Venture Capital | Government):

Comparison of competing proposals: When multiple proposals compete for limited funding, Totally Seaweed provides an objective, science-based comparison of their strengths, weaknesses, feasibility, and expected impact.
Evaluation of strengths | weaknesses of competing proposals: Proposals must be examined with biological logic, system design, technical rigour, budget justification, scalability, risk management, and team capability in mind. This examination provides clear, defensible assessments of which proposals are viable and which require further refinement.
ROI assessment: Expected returns must be evaluated (scientific, economic, environmental, and technical) to help funding bodies allocate resources to the highest impact, most feasible projects with the greatest potential for commercial or scientific success.
