We recently finished a federal proposal project that was part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, and it reminded us of why this company exists in the first place. The technical team we worked with was brilliant, with revolutionary ideas, but they struggled to get across their work in layman’s terms and without jargon. Reading through their first draft of the commercialization plan gave us headaches and required hours of research to grasp the bare necessities, meaning the reviewers would have no chance of comprehending what the team was talking about.

Our job was to translate this jargon-riddled and overly technical draft into something that a non-expert reviewer could read and understand. We also made sure every formatting requirement was correct and consistent to make a good first impression on the reviewers.

Through our efforts, we submitted a fully compliant proposal on time. The technical team later contacted us to give their compliments to the quality of our work and the clarity of their ideas through our translation efforts.

The same problem faced by this technical team is so often present in dissertations. Students spend years developing expertise and know their research and data inside and out, but struggle to convey their ideas to those outside their field. The formatting requirements are also often incredibly exact and require shaping the report around the formatting instead of the other way around.

If we can navigate federal compliance requirements and translate cutting-edge research for reviewers, we can help you get your dissertation to the same level of quality within the deadline.
