Research Grant Funding research grants consultancy services
We offer grant funding consultancy, assistance, and support services for
English-speaking clients from the UK and the entire world.
Vision and mission
RGCS aims to provide guidance, knowledge, and support to organisations to allow them to undertake groundbreaking research to enhance their reputation without the fear of losing their research funding.
OUR STORY
RGCS was created to provide specialised assistance and support to researchers, institutions, and organisations to identify external research grant funding opportunities and manage the funds when awarded.
We understand that the research grants funding landscape is complex and that funders continually amend their terms, conditions, and policies, directly impacting organisations. Add to this an unprecedented shortage of qualified staff to manage sponsored research portfolios, significantly increasing the risk of losing funding or reputational damage.
With nearly 2 decades of cradle-to-grave research funding management experience, RGCS is ideally placed to support your organisation. We offer a wide variety of services across the research grant lifecycle.
Why choose us?
RGCS are a leading provider of professional research funding support and training services. We support our clients in ensuring their research goals and strategies are achieved. We also offer assurance reviews and training to ensure that organisations comply with research grant funders' terms and conditions.
We work with our clients to identify risk areas and provide solutions to mitigate these. We also offer project management support to ensure your research grant funding is managed effectively and efficiently for the entire collaboration.
RGCS can help with assurance and compliance
Failure to comply with funder requirements could result in loss of income, further scrutiny, financial penalties, and some criminal convictions. There has been a significant increase in research grant funders seeking research funding assurance over the past 10 years.
Not only are more funders wanting to ensure that organisations are complying with the terms, conditions, and policies than ever before but the scope of the assurance strategy has increased in complexity to include areas of governance, due diligence, and ethics, to name a few.
RGCS specialises in helping organisations prepare for audits and assurance visits and ensuring that your organisation has the appropriate structures, policies, and procedures to provide funders with the desired assurance. We can even undertake mock.
