Enspire Science’s consulting services have been uniquely created to fit the specific requirements of our clients and the funding scheme they are after. A prominent feature of all services centers around TIME. Meaning – when to begin the chosen service, at which time-frames it is available, and until when it is offered per deadline.
Above all, our team needs time in order to ensure we provide our services at their highest quality. Our rule of thumb is to start working as soon as possible. With this in mind, and in order to provide our full attention and adhere to all parts of the selected service for each of our clients, we apply the following timelines and deadline schedules. It is advised to understand all time constraints relevant to your grant and call.
Step #1: When to Secure a service with us
We accept new clients during specific time-frames, as dictated by the chosen service and grant call. As you consider booking our service, use the below table to know until when our service will be open for booking.
A couple of notes before getting started:
