What a review looks at
The exact scope is confirmed in your quote. A typical review covers:
- Fit with the notice. Whether the application answers what the funding notice asks for and addresses its stated review criteria.
- Completeness. Missing sections, attachments or required statements, checked against the notice and the workspace checklist.
- Clarity. Whether a reviewer who does not know your organization can follow the problem, the approach and the expected results.
- Consistency. Whether the budget, timeline, staffing and narrative tell the same story.
- Formatting and limits. Word or page limits and other formatting rules stated in the notice.
What a review does not include
- Submitting the application for you, or registering you with SAM.gov, Grants.gov or any agency portal
- A guarantee of funding or of a particular score
- Legal, tax or accounting advice
You stay responsible for the final application and for submitting it through the official portal.
How to ask for a review
- Finish a complete draft in your workspace, including the budget and attachments you have so far.
- Send a request through the contact form and choose Expert Review Interest as the subject. Include the opportunity number and your deadline.
- You receive a quote with the scope, price and turnaround before any work starts.
- After you accept, you receive written feedback and decide which changes to make.
Ask early. Reviews and revisions take time, and federal deadlines are firm.
