Research Security ยท Application

Grant Shield Review

Horizon Europe, ERC, Tri-Council, UKRI and more now scrutinise applications for security risk before award. A rejected application means lost funding, wasted effort, and questions from leadership. We review before submission.

What's included

  • Compliance verification: security sections complete and aligned with funder expectations.
  • Partner screening: consortium members checked against funder-specific concerns.
  • Documentation support: corrected attestations, declarations, self-assessments.
  • Readiness determination: a clear go / conditional / hold recommendation.

Best suited for

Pre-submission funding applicationsMulti-partner consortium proposalsResubmissions after a security flagHigh-value or sensitive-domain proposals

Why this matters

The problem. Funders now reject applications on security grounds, turning months of work into lost funding.

What we do. We pressure-test your application and consortium against the funder's requirements before you submit.

The value. You submit knowing the security case holds, with a clear go, fix, or hold decision.
