E.B. Howard Consulting was founded in 2013 with the idea that proposal preparation and independent/external evaluation services can be useful, effective, efficient, and, most importantly, affordable. From the start, we have set out to provide high-quality, affordable services by offering various pricing and service options.
Organizations that choose to work with us are involved every step of the way. From the initial crafting of a funding menu through the proposal preparation process and during the evaluation process, it truly is a collaborative, hands-on approach. These organizations also have a common goal to develop, fund, and implement innovative STEM-based solutions to various social, cultural, or environmental issues.
While we can not guarantee that every opportunity we identify will fund a client, that every proposal we write will be funded, or that your evaluation report will indicate that your program’s goals & objectives will be achieved, we CAN guarantee a tailored approach that is grounded in latest in best-practices, appropriate methodology, and a professional experience.

I highly recommend E.B. Howard Consulting because of their expertise and superior customer service! Beginning with our initial meeting, I was impressed with their professionalism and their work ethic. The E.B. Howard Consulting team was tireless in their willingness to professionally explain things that we, as novices in this space, did not understand and to make the necessary revisions to our work product as we moved through the development process. Moreover, they readily guided us through the intricate administrative requirements necessary to ensure that our grant proposal was submitted on time and without errors. If you’re new to the world of competitive grant writing, you can trust that this company will do a stellar job!

Working with the team at E.B. Howard Consulting is like having your personal in-house development team. These are smart, engaging people that know their stuff! I am especially impressed with their customer-centered approach to working with their clients, their meticulous attention to detail, and the outstanding work product that they produce. They really listen to the client, make creative suggestions, and save you the frustration and time of having to figure everything out on your own. While other services promise a lot, but are short on delivery, this company delivers in spades and will work with you until you are completely satisfied!

The copy editing and budget checking was invaluable. Thank you! We realized mid-proposal that our small team didn’t have the capacity to handle the intricacies and acronyms of an NSF RFP. E.B. Howard Consulting stepped in and carried us over the finish line, making sure every file was shipshape and submitted in advance of the deadline.

Madison Maxey – Founder & CEO at Loomia
Many people don’t understand the complex nature of developing a federal proposal, specifically a proposal for NIH. Developing a federal proposal is not something you should just hand off to a grant consultant and expect a finished product at the end of the day. Nor is it something that I recommend you try to accomplish on your own. These types of proposals require a collaborative effort between the organization submitting the proposal (yourself) and your development consultant.
E.B. Howard Consulting provides and supports the collaborative effort that it takes to submit a highly competitive proposal. They understand the complexity of the NIH proposal development process. They walked us through the initial development of our research strategy by making sure that we were answering all of the proposal requirements and strengthening the language we used surrounding our research methodology. They also made sure that all of our paperwork and forms were filled out correctly. They even provided hands-on support in navigating the proposal portal. Anytime we had a question, they were available to answer it.
Brian Robinson – Founder & CEO at Cardio Legend
The E.B. Howard Consulting team is courteous, professional, and highly skilled. I wholeheartedly recommend them if you’re looking for support in writing or polishing your grant content.

Dr. Ehsan Kamel – Energy Management | New York Institute of Technology
We had a positive experience working with the E.B. Howard Consulting team. The process of simultaneously preparing two large federal grant proposals for us was very organized, efficiently handled, and conducted professionally but also enjoyable. While we do not yet know the outcome of whether they will be funded, I know we put forward stronger and more compelling proposals because of E.B. Howard Consulting. We look forward to using them again on future projects!
Gina Taranto – Director of Philanthropy at Space Foundation
The E.B. Howard Consulting team is tremendous. They helped us really understand the process of going after government grants and what it entails and worked strategically to develop a step-by-step process to meet the results we wanted to reach. Because of their work, we were able to secure a large grant from a federal agency and work on finalizing another grant.
