“EGC has been a blessing for Mycologics not only for proposal preparation but also for grant management. It would be impossible to run and manage the company’s R&D activities as a solo founder with 2 federal grants and 1 state grant without their support. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am!”
Anindya Chanda, Ph.D., Founder and CEO
“The service provided by EGC is much better than what we received from a local CPA with much less knowledge about grant management.”
