PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT & GRANT MANAGEMENT

Service Description

At APES, we understand that a strong project idea is only the beginning. Turning that idea into a fundable, competitive proposal requires expertise, structure, and strategic narrative design. Our Proposal Development & Grant Management service provides end-to-end support for organisations applying to EU, international, and national funding programmes — including Horizon Europe, the EIC Accelerator, EU Innovation Fund, Digital Europe, and regional innovation schemes. We start by helping you shape your concept into a clearly defined and evaluator-friendly project plan. This includes refining your objectives, aligning with programme priorities, identifying work packages, defining expected outcomes, and constructing logical frameworks (logframes or theories of change, as needed). Our team then works with you to build a coherent budget that meets eligibility rules, reflects real operational needs, and supports sustainable implementation. Beyond writing, we manage the full proposal lifecycle — coordinating partner contributions, drafting administrative forms (Part A/B), and ensuring technical excellence throughout. We ensure compliance with formal requirements, evaluation criteria, and online submission procedures. When consortia are involved, we facilitate alignment across roles, legal entities, and internal responsibilities. But our support doesn’t end at submission. We remain available to respond to clarifications, support grant agreement preparation, and guide early implementation planning. For successful projects, we offer post-award support including project kick-off planning, reporting frameworks, and risk monitoring. With APES, you gain more than proposal writers — you gain strategic co-developers who bring structure, precision, and experience to every phase of your project’s funding journey.
