MSCA Writing Support Services

Flexible solutions customised for you


Proposal drafting support adopts different modalities depending on your specific needs. The objective is to provide you with the tools and skills to draft proposals while addressing the specific needs and obligations of MSCA projects.

  • MSCA proposal revision and proof-reading

    The revision service is intended for those that are leading proposal writing and need specialised insight support to ensure the approach and contents do reply to call requirements. 


    It can be carried out in one or two revision cycles, depending on the deadline available until the submission date and the status of proposal development. 


    If resubmitting, a critical review of the previous proposal and ESR may be carried out to ensure the most efficient writing strategy, including changes in  the concept, approach and even the panel. This option is especially useful for those proposals  with a score around 80-85.


    The service is focused on providing the advice, keys and support needed to write excellent proposals and entails the following activities:


    • Critical review of the previously submitted proposal (resubmissions), including recommendations to address the new call (approach, panel, consortium, etc.)
    • Extensive annotation of the proposal draft. Contribution with ideas, templates and examples to develop the proposal sections according to their specific needs.
    • Edition of the consolidated draft, including writing of sections and layout adaptation (page limits, fonts, tables, etc.).
    • Support with panel and keywords selection and abstract drafting. 
    • Support with doubts and development of interactive sessions to review specific aspects of the proposal. Q&A interviews.

    This service can be customised to your specific needs.


    * If you are still in the conceptualisation phase of your proposal and you would like to check if your idea matches the call requirements, request a screening service to assess its feasibility. It delivers an initial diagnose and a recommendations report for you to guide  proposal drafting. 

  • MSCA Diagnostic report

    If you would like to check and optimise your proposal before submission at a highly competitive rate, you can take advantage of the opportunity to have it reviewed by a qualified expert evaluator. 


    This is a high-value service for MSCA-PF candidates but it is available for all MSCA calls.


    The diagnose service will provide you with a close picture of the feedback you may expect from the evaluation process while giving you the chance to work on the weak points detected. You will get a diagnostic report that assesses the degree of compliance with the evaluation criteria in a qualitative way and provides proposal's improvement recommendations. 


    Advanced booking is required. Get in touch to ask for a quote and the general conditions that apply to this service.

  • Doctoral Networks - Proposal mentoring

    The mentoring service will drive you through MSCA insights and singularities. It includes continuous and personalised supervision from the conceptualisation phase of the proposal until the presentation of the complete application. 


    The mentoring service is available exclusively for Doctoral Networks call. To access this service, it is mandatory to positively pass the feasibility analysis of the proposal carried out by the screening service


    The mentoring process provides the drafting team with the keys and support needed to write excellent proposals including:


    • Design of a strategy to address proposal drafting , including a customised Gantt chart to folow up progresss, weakly progress monitoring  and training sessions.
    • innoScope's exclusive annotated templates.
    • Critical and detailed review of each of the sections of the proposal following the work plan and instructions provided through continuous  draft revision.
    • Support in the layout of the final version of the proposal, adjustment of the contents to the maximum length and verification that the Commission’s rules are accomplished. 
    • Support with abstract drafting and keywords selection.

    This option is the best if you want to keep control of your proposal while receiving specialised support to develop it.

You will be able to combine services to match your needs. If you are interested in requesting support for your application, please check in advance the recommended deadlines to book the selected service.
