--- Attract funding   
Preparing a grant application is a significant investment of time and energy, with no guarantee of return.
When you’re tight on time, the complexity of multi-partner proposals, short deadlines, and the pressure to articulate
impact and value for money can be overwhelming.

 --- Develop and strengthen partnerships 
 Researchers and industry partners can speak different languages: one focused on knowledge generation, the
other on commercial outcomes and return on investment. It takes experience to frame research in terms
that resonate with industry, and a strong process to structure an engagement that works for both parties.
Straight Up provides both.  
 Let us help you 

 --- Workshop facilitation  
When an important issue is at stake, you need certainty that a workshop will land. You could be dealing with competing stakeholder agendas, low engagement, or a history of workshops that generated plenty of discussion but had little follow-through. What you need is a process that holds the room, surfaces the right insights, and moves people toward meaningful, actionable outcomes. ur team trains researchers and academics in positioning, writing and pitching - everything you need to highlight the commercial potential of your work.  
 Let’s work together 

 --- Communicate your work     
You know your work matters, but it’s surprisingly hard to communicate that in a way that lands. You’re close to the work, so it’s not always obvious what others need to hear, and you often end up too technical. Whether you’re applying for an award, presenting a project to stakeholders, or showcasing your organisation or project on a website, you want to be consistent and strategic in how you communicate to stakeholders.
