What Our Clients Say About Us

  • “Fadi is an amazing research partner, accomplished scholar, and exceptional grant evaluator. More importantly, Fadi is someone that you will enjoy working with, trust, and be friends with. I've had the privilege of knowing Fadi for more than a decade (!!! this makes us both sound old!!!), and collaborated on federal grants, publications, and were affiliated with common professional organizations. He is a collaborator, team player, facilitator, listener, and leader... I trust his expertise, appreciate his dedication to detail, and unwavering commitment to quality and the highest possible standard of work. My NSF program manager literally told me and the team: listen to your evaluator's recommendations, his evaluation report was simply outstanding!!!”

  • “Since 2020, I have worked with Fadi as the external evaluator on multiple NSF-sponsored projects. He is excellent! I am particularly impressed by his hands-on approach with faculty and his 100% engagement in the grant writing process, consisting of ideation, delivery, and reporting. His background in educational psychology, engineering, and innovative technology is rare in an evaluator, and a great asset to any team. Fadi earns my highest recommendation”

  • “Fadi is great to work with for our evaluation for the NSF Chemistry Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Having meetings with Fadi prior to the start of our summer REU program helped convey the evaluation material to our students and the time frame. Fadi’s reports were timely and comprehensive, and they allowed us to make improvements and tweaks to our program, which overall improved our program in subsequent years”
