Research & Grant Technical Support
Focus on the Research.We'll Handle the Technical Work.
Technical support for researchers and grant-funded teams that need data processing, programming, visualizations, automation, dashboards, and research-ready technical deliverables.
Your expertise may be medicine, science, policy, healthcare, or research.
You shouldn't have to become a software engineer just to complete the technical work surrounding your project.
The problem
Your Expertise Shouldn't Have to Be Python
Research projects frequently create technical requirements outside the investigator's primary expertise.
- Cleaning and organizing datasets
- Writing Python scripts
- Troubleshooting existing analysis code
- Producing charts and graphs
- Automating repetitive reports
- Consolidating spreadsheets
- Creating dashboards
- Building repeatable analysis workflows
- Preparing technical appendices
- Generating recurring project outputs
You define the research question and the output you need.
We build the technical solution.

Charts & Visualizations
Transform research results into clear professional visualizations for reports, presentations, publications, and stakeholder communication.
- Charts
- Graphs
- Timelines
- Comparison visualizations
- Outcome visualizations
- Research figures
Reporting Automation
Replace repetitive manual report preparation with reliable, repeatable processes.
- Recurring reports
- Automated charts
- Table generation
- Spreadsheet generation
- PDF output workflows
- Scheduled data processing
Research Dashboards
Create dashboards that make project outcomes, trends, metrics, and progress easier to understand.
- Research dashboards
- Grant outcome dashboards
- Program performance
- Study metrics
- Internal reporting
Reproducible Research Workflows
Create documented workflows that allow research outputs to be regenerated consistently when data changes.
- Reusable scripts
- Processing pipelines
- Jupyter workflows where appropriate
- Versioned methodologies
- Technical documentation
Technical Documentation
Document the technical methods and processes supporting the research.
- Technical appendices
- Workflow documentation

Custom Research Tools
Develop small applications, utilities, or interfaces for specialized research requirements when spreadsheets and scripts are no longer enough.
- Research utilities
- Internal tools
- Data-entry interfaces
- Specialized workflows
Already Have Code That Almost Works?
You don't always need a new system. If you already have Python, SQL, notebooks, spreadsheets, scripts, or another workflow that is close to producing what you need, we can review it, troubleshoot it, complete it, or make it repeatable.

Environments
Supporting Research Across Organizations
Technical support may be useful in environments including the following. Mention of an agency, program, or funding source describes a research setting — not an endorsement, partnership, authorization, or affiliation.
- Federal agencies
- VA research environments
- NIH-funded research
- Universities
- Academic medical centers
- Healthcare organizations
- Research institutes
- Nonprofit organizations
- Public health programs
- Government-funded initiatives
Sensitive data
Research Data Requires the Right Handling
Some research projects involve protected, regulated, proprietary, or controlled information.
Projects involving PHI, PII, VA data, controlled-access datasets, or other sensitive information are evaluated before any data is transferred.
For initial inquiries, please describe the project without including sensitive information.
Questions
FAQ
Do you write grant proposals?
The primary service is technical support rather than traditional grant writing. We help with programming, data workflows, visualizations, reporting systems, dashboards, automation, technical documentation, and other technical deliverables that support research and grant-funded projects.
Can you help with an existing Python script?
Yes. Existing scripts and workflows can often be reviewed, repaired, completed, improved, or converted into a more repeatable process.
Do I need to know exactly what technology I need?
No. Describe the research objective, available data, required output, and the problem you're encountering. The appropriate technical approach can be determined from there.
Can you build charts and visualizations for research reports?
Yes. Research results can be transformed into professional charts, figures, tables, dashboards, and other visual outputs appropriate to the project's needs.
Can you work with sensitive medical or research data?
Projects involving PHI, PII, controlled-access data, VA information, proprietary information, or other regulated data require an appropriate security and compliance review before information is transferred. Do not submit sensitive data through the website inquiry form.
Can you provide ongoing support?
Yes. Support can range from a single technical deliverable to ongoing technical assistance throughout an active research or grant-funded project.
