Common Questions About Grant Writing Services

GRANT MONEY IS AVAILABLE

Are you ready to explore the world of grant money to fund, and sustain, your health related device or service?

ANSWERS TO FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Not necessarily. For wellness devices (e.g., a PEMF mat marketed for “stress relief”), no FDA approval is required, and you can still apply for foundation grants and some small business innovation grants. For medical device claims (e.g., “treats chronic pain”), you will need a regulatory pathway (510(k) or De Novo), but you can apply for NIH SBIR grants to fund the research that supports that approval. I help you choose the right path.

No. The Grant Professionals Association prohibits contingency fees (charging a percentage of the award). I charge a flat fee per proposal or an hourly rate for consulting. You pay for my time, not for the outcome. This keeps my incentives aligned with yours: I want to write a strong proposal, but I never gamble with your grant money.

For a simple foundation grant (5‑10 pages), flat fees range from $2,500 to $4,000. For a complex federal SBIR proposal (30+ pages with detailed budgets and research plans), fees range from $7,000 to $12,000. Hourly consulting (strategy, editing, reviewer feedback) runs $50–$100/hour. I will give you a firm quote before any work begins.

From our first call to submission:
- Foundation grant: 2‑4 weeks.

- Federal SBIR/STTR: 6‑10 weeks (because of the scientific and budget detail).

- Accelerator application: 1‑3 weeks.
I will work backward from the deadline and give you a clear timeline.

That is exactly why you need me. The NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is a $150+ million institute that funds “whole person health,” “biofield science,” and “energy medicine.” The key is using their language without diluting your authenticity. I have done this for Rife‑style devices, PEMF mats, and vibrational frequency products.

No ethical grant writer can guarantee funding. What I can guarantee is a professional, compliant, and persuasive proposal that gives you the best possible chance. My success rate with clients who have reasonable preliminary data is above 40% for foundation grants and 25‑30% for federal grants (the federal average is 15‑20%).

Yes. Look for pilot grants or exploratory grants (e.g., NIH R21). These are designed for early‑stage ideas. I can help you write a proposal that acknowledges the lack of data but presents a strong hypothesis and methodology.

GRANT WRITER FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS INNOVATORS

I am not a generic grant writer. I am a former project manager and high school biology teacher, a curriculum designer, a 20‑year business owner, and a lifelong student of frequency medicine.

My journey began in technology, then teaching in a classroom. For several years I did technical writing and project management for American Express in thier technoloy division. Then I moved into a public high school classroom where I taught science and also helped train teachers to use technoogy in their classroom using federal grants.

Teaching biology to teenagers taught me how to break down complex systems—cell metabolism, genetics, the immune response—into clear, teachable concepts. That same skill applies to grant writing. A federal grant application is a puzzle. My job is to solve it with you, not for you.

I earned a Master’s degree in curriculum design from Arizona State University. That training gave me a systematic approach to building educational materials. Grant proposals are a form of education: you are teaching a reviewer why your product matters, how it works, and why your team can deliver. I write proposals that teach without overwhelming.

Outside the classroom, I have owned and operated businesses for over 20 years. I understand cash flow, customer acquisition, and the lonely weight of being an entrepreneur. I will never suggest a grant that does not align with your business stage or burn rate.

And personally?
I own a Rife system machine. I have studied frequency devices, PEMF mats, and biofield therapies for years. I know the difference between a resonant frequency and a harmonic, and I know how to translate that technical knowledge into a grant proposal that reviewers respect. I am not a skeptic pretending to believe. I am a believer who also respects the scientific method.

Why work with me?
1. I have written successful grants for classroom science projects: I know how to start small and build evidence.
2. I have navigated 20 years of business budgets: I know how to write budgets that make sense.
3. I have a Master’s degree in curriculum design: I know how to structure a persuasive narrative.
4. I personally use frequency technology: I understand your product’s potential and its challenges.

Call me to discuss your project. No obligation. Just a conversation. Steu Mann, (727) 370-0011
