Senior Grant Writer Dr. Devon B. earned his Ph.D. in social science from the University of California, Irvine, where his interdisciplinary training focused on anthropology, psychology, and sociology. Since earning his doctorate, he has worked as a researcher, teacher, grant writer, and consultant in the social sciences, medicine, and epidemiology. Devon has published more than 65 peer-reviewed journal articles (most as first or sole author) on research methods and design, research synthesis (systematic reviews and meta-analysis), statistics, social networks, memory, cognition, substance abuse, crime, and chronic and infectious disease, among other subjects. He has had several research grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Justice and been a key contributor to projects funded by the National Scientific Foundation and other federal agencies. Devon has served as a reviewer for many national research funding agencies and 49 journals in the social and health sciences. He has also edited journals, including an international journal that received manuscripts mostly from authors who spoke English as a second language.

With ScienceDocs clients, Devon works on a healthy mix of academic, SBIR/STTR, and foundation grant proposals. He also works on journal manuscripts, technical reports, dissertations, theses, CVs, cover letters for journal submissions, other professional correspondence (such as inquiries to funding agencies and letters of reference and acceptance), conference presentations, speeches, academic job application packages, and academic promotion packages. In addition, Devon serves ScienceDocs clients by giving scientific advice on grant proposals, research plans, and data analysis. Furthermore, he has researched industry developments and market competitors for small business clients, prepared white papers on topics selected by clients, and identified foundation grant opportunities for non-profit clients.
