About GrantArtisans™
GrantArtisans™ is a subsidiary of BioTechnical Communications, Inc., a health communications company founded by Mary S. Harris, Ph.D.. Dr. Harris has over 30 years of experience writing and winning highly competitive NIH grant awards. She has received numerous awards for her work in the area of health communications and for her work in public health. She has prepared successful grant proposals for her own company, community health organizations and state health agencies. She has also advised faculty and small technology companies about the logistics of SBIR grant proposal preparation.

During the course of her career, Dr. Harris has seen how time consuming and challenging it can be for small businesses and faculty to prepare a grant proposal. She understands that while many people would like to submit a grant proposal, limited time, personal expertise, and lack of access to subject matter experts often prevent them from moving forward.

Dr. Harris has leveraged her experience and contacts from over 30 years of writing grant proposals to launch GrantArtisans™, an innovative approach to preparing competitive SBIR/STTR grant applications. We’ve replaced the “one writer fits all” concept with an extensive and diverse portfolio of experienced subject matter experts (SMEs) who serve as our Expert grant reviewers, our grant writers, and our grant mentors. This allows us to match the scientific expertise of our Experts to the scientific content of your proposal. As a result, our Experts don’t waste your time (and money) trying to understand the technical content. They speak your technical language and can more effectively identify gaps or problems in the proposal. Moreover, these first-class professionals really know the answer to the one question that challenges all grant applicants:
“What are the grant reviewers looking for?”
At GrantArtisans™ we recognize that “two heads are better than one”—especially when the two heads are experienced Expert Grant Reviewers and Expert Grant Writers. With our focus on pre-submission grant proposal review, grant applicant mentoring, and precision writing, GrantArtisans™ takes grant preparation to the next level of performance. When you hire our team of Experts, you get an insider’s perspective on how best to present your ideas to SBIR/STTR grant Reviewers. You also get a team that is invested in helping you successfully clear that important first hurdle of the funding decision—the Peer Review process.
