Consultants

ProGrid consultants work with all the key stakeholders to clearly define the task at hand, articulate the relevant criteria, develop applications and ranking systems, and implement the processes to gather, compile, compare, and present the results. The results can be seen in better funding applications, reduced time demands on evaluators, and a transparent and comprehensive record of exactly how and why each decision is made.
