Expert vetted social science researcher with over 20 years of experience. I look forward to supporting your research and writing projects. My Ph.D. is in social work, and I have an MA in public policy, and a BA in political science. My publications include nine peer-reviewed academic journal articles and a book on adoption. I specialize in social science data analysis (mainly using SPSS), evaluation, instrument development, literature reviews, report writing, article writing, web content writing, and more. My key areas of interest include mental health, child welfare, and spirituality but I am also interested in and knowledgeable about politics and government, sociology, social policy, poverty, substance misuse, and gender equality. Projects I enjoy working on include peer reviewed journal articles, federal funding proposals, articles for the general public, and white papers. I am open to working on a wide range of short-term and longer-term projects. I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of academic and cultural backgrounds; knowledge sharing and support are always a top priority. There are a few things I DO NOT do including write sections of theses or dissertations. That is called plagiarism. I also DO NOT ghost write. My fees are flexible for nonprofits.

Need someone to turn a complex RFP into a clean, submission-ready response without missed requirements, scattered documents, or last-minute surprises? I coordinate government and commercial proposals from intake through final internal handoff. My work includes solicitation review, bid/no-bid analysis, compliance matrices, product and SKU matching, clarification questions, pricing workbooks, exceptions and deviations, manufacturer-documentation tracking, deadline control, and submission QA. Most recently, I completed more than 100 hours supporting a government fitness-equipment RFP response, coordinating product matching, compliance documentation, response matrices, pricing preparation, and proposal-packet development. Across Upwork, I have earned $70K+ over more than 200 projects and maintained Top Rated status. Clients consistently describe me as reliable, committed to quality, solution-oriented, accountable, and a clear communicator. I can support your team with: • RFP, RFQ, and government bid coordination • Compliance matrices and requirements checklists • Proposal calendars, owners, and deadline tracking • Product, service, and SKU matching • Pricing-workbook preparation • Exceptions, deviations, and clarification questions • Proposal document control and submission QA • SOPs and cross-functional workflow systems I work best with teams that need someone to bring order to a complex response, keep contributors accountable, and move the proposal from scattered source documents to a complete, review-ready package.

Welcome to my Upwork profile! My name is Brooke. I have been an Upwork consultant since February 2023 and a freelancer since 2013. With over two decades of experience in grant seeking, writing, and reviewing, I have the expertise your project needs to secure funding. My extensive background includes a successful track record in securing federal, corporate, and foundation grants. I have honed my craft across a wide range of sectors, including health services, education, justice, community development, technology, historic preservation and workforce development. I specialize in navigating complex grant applications, particularly at the federal level, with a deep understanding from serving as a reviewer for notable agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Education. This unique perspective as a reviewer allows me to craft applications that resonate deeply with funding bodies, ensuring that your proposals are seen and favored. My Core Competencies: Grant Writing Expertise--Proficient in constructing compelling narratives and robust funding applications that articulate clear, impactful objectives. Strategic Prospecting--Skilled in identifying and securing the most fitting funding opportunities through advanced research tools and methodologies, including a professional license with Instrumentl.com for precise funder matching. Analytical Skills--My Mathematics degree enhances my ability to perform detailed analytics, crucial for developing accurate budget forecasts and interpreting complex data to support proposal narratives. Professional Experience: My career includes key positions where I've led significant grant initiatives, managed teams, and delivered strategic consultations that have substantially benefited my clients' operational and project goals. My work involves: --Detailed needs assessments and funder analyses to align potential funding sources with project needs. --Creation of 'boilerplates' for organizations, to copy and paste into applications. Boilerplates are essential for times you cannot secure a grant writer or you decide to apply in-house. --Comprehensive management of the grant application process, from narrative development to submission and compliance monitoring. --Wrote and published two successful medical books. Engagement and Collaboration: I thrive in collaborative settings, working closely with organizational leaders, stakeholders, and teams to ensure a unified vision.
