Ramona Munsell & Associates will gladly teach your college or university how to circumvent the "funds cannot be used to reimburse grant writing activities" clause found in most RFPs. This little accounting trick (fraud) will drain your indirect cost accounts and put THOUSANDS of dollars in the RMA accounts.
In return for your school's money, RMA will copy and paste pieces of old grants into a "custom" proposal just for you. And within that proposal RMA will assign an "external evaluator" to evaluate the program they've written. But wait! The evaluator is an RMA writer! That keeps things nice and tidy and keeps the checks coming to RMA every year throughout your award.
Instead, I recommend giving "pay grant writer with grant funds" a little Google. See how many times you find the word "unethical" to describe the practice. If you need to hire a grant writer, pay a flat fee upfront.
