Dr Chris St Pourçain
Consultant for all consultancy advice
Our consultancy advice takes advantage of Chris St Pourçain’s first-hand insight as a former researcher and manager of research grant funding.
This experience allows Chris to understand research grant funding from both of these perspectives.
Chris has been a successful grant applicant (as Principal Investigator) and for 10 years managed the research grant application and assessment process for the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) – the largest funder of non-medical bioscience in the UK.
Chris has read hundreds of grant applications and seen many hundreds more assessed in hundreds of hours of research funding committees.

We can also facilitate discussions about strategies and processes to monitor the quality of research grant applications submitted by your research group or department.

We can advise you over the phone, by email, in Zoom or Teams sessions, or in person. Advice can be given in a one-off session or ongoing sessions.
