PNO provided expert and invaluable assistance as we prepared our successful Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst grant application. Olaf's strategic guidance helped us craft a compelling and cohesive narrative for our project, and their attention to detail ensured that we obtained as many points as possible in each scored category.

“I had the pleasure of working with Claire at PNO who provided a critical peer review of our application for an Innovate UK Smart grant. Claire’s experience was clear to see during the application writing process where her feedback was detailed, insightful and practical. The result of Claire’s input ensured we raised the level of our application by 10-15 percentage points and were ultimately successful in one of Innovate UK’s most competitive funding call to date. The feedback we got from examiners further emphasised this value add where the examiners were excited about the application and the project. I highly recommend Claire and PNO to new as well as seasoned applicants seeking to secure Innovate UK funding for their projects.”

“Rechip successfully completed a project funded by Innovate UK, with the valuable support of PNO, despite a number of unforeseen issues and the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. The help and assistance provided by James Hughes with this project has been really appreciated as it allowed us to complete all of the reporting requirements and create actions plans that were a big help in dealing with issues.
We would work with PNO again and have complete faith in James to deliver if pressure is on. A big thank you to PNO from Rechip!”
