Testimonials
Natasha Goldman and her team at WISSEN do an excellent job working with diverse faculty and administrators. Whatever the value of individual grant “wins”, I have found Natasha to be a superb mentor. She effectively guides our team through all phases of the grant-writing process, and appropriately scaffolds this process for faculty with varying levels of experience.
— Steve Quackenbush, Dean of Arts and Sciences, University of Maine at Farmington
WISSEN, Inc. worked collaboratively with our School of Nursing staff to produce an exceptional document that I know will be favorably reviewed. Natasha has a lot of local contacts that she was able to bring to the table for this grant. She has a great model for collaborating on grants and executes that model flawlessly.
— Paula Milone-Nuzzo, PhD, RN, FHHC, FAAN, President, MGH Institute of Health Professions
We had the pleasure of working with the WISSEN team recently as we pursued a Department of Labor grant. From start to finish, the WISSEN team was instrumental in putting together an excellent grant proposal. The staff was extremely responsive and professional, and their expertise in this area was evident throughout. We were lucky to have them on the grant writing team!
— Bradley White, Assistant Professor of Nursing, MGH Institute of Health Profession
Natasha Goldman has been an extremely valuable asset in researching, identifying, reviewing and securing potential grant opportunities in line with our vision to supplant resources to support academic programs to enrich the experiences of our students. We could not have gotten over the finish line on several projects without her expertise! Her range of services and contract options really are a blessing to any institution; we appreciate greatly our working relationship with her.

Her assistance was a game changer — I can’t recommend her enough!

Clear and subtle, incisive and respectful, Natasha’s feedback shows that she able to think as a sympathetic fellow scholar and from the point of view of a grant committee. She provided expert advice about restructuring my proposal, elucidating discipline-specific terminology, and addressing the specific expectations of the grant in question. Her review rubrics are expertly prepared and utterly clear. Natasha helped me to see my project anew and to communicate its strengths more effectively.
