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. All services are independent and you will be able to combine them to match your needs.
MSCA Writing Suite
For those researchers who prefer to write at their own pace, innoScope provides a set of tools and resources to write highly competitive proposals in a guided but independent way. This service can be combined with the proposal Checkup for major impact.
The
proposal writing suite is made up of three main elements, each of which has the mission of covering a different and necessary aspect of the writing process: a
writing toolkit
with a guidebook, examples and writing tips, an
information package
with the main official documents and a portfolio of
funded proposals
and highly scored sections.
Proposal Checkup Service
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 an added-value service for those proposers that follow the Independent Writing Itinerary.
This 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.
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 your proposal's development.
This service provides extensive annotation of a proposal draft. Contribution with ideas, templates and examples to develop the proposal sections according to their specific needs. And/or, proof-reading of a consolidated draft, including layout adaptation (page limits, fonts, tables, etc.).
If
resubmitting, a value-added option is to have the
previous proposal and ESR analysed to provide you with the most efficient writing strategy for your new draft through detailed guidance and recommendations.
This option is especially useful for those proposals that reached a score around 80-85.
Screening
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.
For MSCA-PF call, this service is available only to institutional clients who request a minimum number of revision and training services.
Please notice that advanced booking of at least two to three months before the call deadline is needed to guarantee availability.
