How much time will I need to invest to get a government grant with Exon’s help?
We generally need 3 or 4 meetings with you during the grant application process and you will need to supply us with as much information as you have available. We treat all information strictly confidential but you must supply accounts and financial information. We have confidentiality forms that we jointly sign to protect your commercial information and detailed patentable ideas. We have a tick sheet to help you collect the required information and for us to gauge how much time it will take. It is our experience that a well written grant proposal will take Exon 3-8 weeks to write. Because most of our fees are on success we only take on projects we feel have a good chance of going through and we need your commitment of time and availability to give it the best shot of success. < Go back to top > SMART grants have changed for the better!! In July 2003 the DTI substantially increased the SMART grant programme and renamed it the Grant for Research & Development.
