"Amanda has reviewed two of my applications in the last few years, including my application for an NHMRC Senior Research Fellowship, and my application for promotion to Level E (Professor). Her feedback has been fantastic, very targeted, concise and thoughtful. Amanda has an innate ability to understand what review panels want to see, and I have no doubt her feedback has been critical to the success of both of these applications."

"Amanda was instrumental in helping me to write my application for an NHMRC Career Development Award application, which was funded from 2011 to 2014. She showed me how to highlight several aspects of my CV that I had overlooked as being important in an application for a basic research fellowship. For example, she helped me to showcase my past experiences of running a medical team in a hospital in China when I was a junior doctor, to demonstrate my leadership skills and vision. She also helped me to write the research proposal in my application clearly, and to show how all my past experiences made me uniquely positioned to lead my proposed research. I am certain that if it had not been for Amanda’s critical review and feedback on my application drafts, I would not have won this award."

"Amanda has offered great help with my successful application for the NHMRC Early Career Fellowship. Amanda’s feedback was comprehensive, well-constructed and right to the point. I learnt a lot from her feedback on how to use the best lingo to showcase my academic achievement and research impact in the application. I would highly recommend Amanda for writing winning fellowship applications."

"Amanda has helped me with several applications, notably my successful NHMRC Early Career Fellowship. Amanda has a unique ability to transforms simple statements into meaningful impact statements that clearly and concisely address assessment criteria. With her feedback, I have learned how to more effectively communicate the 'so what' factor of my work and to highlight how my past, present and planned work link together. Without a doubt, Amanda's feedback has contributed to my success."

"I want to thank Prof Amanda Salis for the invaluable assistance she provided on my NHMRC Early Career Research Fellowship application. Amanda helped me incorporate my CV into different areas of my application. Her suggestions gave me better ways of expressing myself and helped me create a story that flowed throughout my entire application."

"Amanda generously reviewed my NHMRC Early Career Fellowship and Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. Amanda’s constructive feedback helped me to strategically select evidence from my CV to enhance and support my fellowship narrative"

“Writing this Investigator Grant application was a challenging task due to the lack of clarity on the metrics and selection criteria for this call. Amanda reviewed 3 drafts of my application and I would not hesitate to say that her feedback was a game changer. She initially helped me give structure and flow to my application while the subsequent rounds greatly helped me phrase the impact sections better, and present the knowledge gain (proposal) section in a more accessible so that the reviewers, no matter what their disciplinary background was, could understand it and appreciate its practical value. I am very thankful to Amanda and I would certainly go back to her for help with future applications.“
