As health issues become ever more global, health research must also move towards a more universal approach with shared resources and cooperation to bring forward the most advanced research, regardless of its origins.

SRF was created to close this gap between U.S. and European research activities, ultimately leading to mutually-beneficial collaborations. SRF is well positioned to successfully present collaborative solutions and streamline grant applications to these agencies and facilitate the success of their missions. SRF is able to deliver these solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner.

 

SRF was created by scientists and research administrators to primarily benefit the scientific research community (public and private) in Europe and beyond. We are committed to promoting scientific excellence as the surest way to benefit health globally. We are a group of founders and support staff who can talk science with the scientists, administration with administrators, and fiduciary responsibilities with grants officers.

SRF fundamentally believes that scientific research excellence is best achieved within a collaboration between the researcher and the funding agency. Therefore, scientists and science administrators are our primary partners. Within this group, we have identified two equally-important sectors:

1. Academic sector: Our analyses reveal that there are significant opportunities for universities and institutions in many countries worldwide. Even in countries that attain the highest level of funding, their wealth of research suggests there are many further opportunities. Our analyses also suggest that much U.S. funding goes to those institutions with the most highly developed and funded grants administration departments. However, research excellence is spread far wider and we encourage underrepresented institutions as well as those with better developed institutional grant administration to use our services. SRF will provide a competitive advantage for both.

2. Private sector: Our services are available to the myriad of private research biotechnology companies, both large and small, to help them develop necessary partnerships and apply for funds to start-up and continue ongoing research. Again, there are untapped U.S. funding opportunities available to commercial biotech and research institutions in Europe and beyond. Whether a large enterprise or small start-up, SRF can assist in development of collaborations and successful grant application.
