Never feel lost again while preparing your Horizon Europe health proposal
Navigating Horizon Europe applications can feel like an insurmountable challenge, but you don’t have to do it alone. With the right tools and guidance, you can overcome the obstacles and submit a standout health research proposal.
My Horizon Europe coaching program provides:
1.
A structured roadmap to guide you through the application process.
2.
Comprehensive resources, including templates, guidelines, and examples.
3.
Personalized feedback to ensure your proposal meets evaluators’ expectations.
What you will gain
Clarity
No more guessing what evaluators want—my structured approach ensures you know exactly what to focus on.
“I finally understand what the application form is asking for!”
“This process feels manageable for the first time.”
Support
With my one-on-one coaching, you will never have to face the challenges of proposal writing alone.
“I finally have someone to turn to when I get stuck.”
“The feedback I received was invaluable—it completely transformed my proposal.”

Stay organized and efficient with a step-by-step roadmap that guides you through each phase of the application process.
“I know exactly what to do next—no more wasted time.”
“The templates and examples saved me so much effort.”
A coaching programme designed for health researchers
This program is tailored specifically for early to intermediate-level health researchers who are ready to step into the role of coordinator or main applicant in Horizon Europe.
Whether you are new to the program or have participated as a partner, this programme will help you navigate the complexities of the application process with clarity and confidence.
What's included
We start with a strategic session to analyse your idea, the call text, and the consortium (where applicable), identify where they align (and where they don’t yet) and fix mismatches before writing begins
You will receive an annotated application form, showing exactly what the evaluators expect in each section — so you never have to start from a blank page
I will give you a workplan, with weekly priorities and clear goals to follow all the way to the submission deadline. This will break drafting into focused phases (no more jumping between sections) and will help you balance time between application sections (so Impact isn’t rushed while Excellence drags)
We will organise a Q&A session to unblock issues as you write
10–15 days before the deadline, I will perform a pre-submission review of your draft to catch any deviation from the call’s expectations and give you precise, actionable feedback to polish for clarity and consistency
After my revision, we will meet again to go over suggestions and critical fixes, to discuss how to strengthen the final version
A structured approach to winning health research proposals
To guide researchers through the Horizon Europe application process with clarity and confidence, I have developed the CRISP Methodology—a step-by-step approach that ensures a well-structured, high-quality proposal.
This method helps you:
Understand the funding call’s expectations and align your project accordingly
Identify gaps and opportunities to strengthen your proposal
Develop a clear and strategic writing process
Refine your work through structured reviews
How my CRISP methodology works
C | Carefully read the call to fully grasp the funder’s expectations |
R | Review project details, identifying strengths and weaknesses |
I | Identify and close gaps to improve competitiveness |
S | Strategize the writing process for efficiency and clarity |
P | Perform a thorough review to ensure coherence and quality |
