Build the grants office your research ambitions deserve.
We help Kenyan and East African universities convert research capacity into sustained grant funding — not through one-off workshops, but by installing the systems a grants office needs to compound wins.
Three levers that move funding outcomes within one academic year.
A grants office that actually ships proposals
We install workflows, review gates, and donor-mapping habits so your office moves from reactive to systematic — with a rolling 12-month funding calendar.
Higher NRF and international success rates
Proposal coaching calibrated to NRF, Horizon Europe, DAAD, Carnegie, and Gates rubrics. Alumni institutions have tripled submission quality in a single cycle.
Faculty who can write fundable research
Train principal investigators and early-career faculty on concept notes, budgets, and logframes — the parts of grant writing most PhD programs skip.
“We went from submitting four grant proposals a year to fourteen — and started winning the ones that mattered. Resmob didn’t just train us, they reshaped how our office works.”
