Solutions for your unique animal health challenges

Medical Writing

  • Obtaining start-up funding for early revenue companies is instrumental to business success. 

    Several of our PEAK specialists have received federal grants and understand the mechanics of writing competitive applications for multiple funding agencies (SBIR/STTR, NIH, NSF, DoD, etc.) and can help you obtain non-dilutive funding through federal grant mechanisms. 

  • Our scientists have a breadth of knowledge regarding preparing nonclinical protocols for IACUC submission and grant review. PEAK writing services can optimize your in vivo research project from a regulatory perspective to streamline the protocol review process, while supporting animal welfare

    After study completion, we can assist in preparing final reports to include in your submission package.

  • Publishing your findings in a peer-reviewed journal can improve consumer perception of your product and if appropriate, certain data can be used to support your regulatory submission

    Let the seasoned experts at PEAK help you navigate the process of authorship.

Preclinical Research Design and Execution

  • Our consultants have extensive experience with IACUC operations and our licensed veterinarians can be contracted to serve your organization or institution as attending veterinarians, ad hoc consultants, or IACUC members to ensure regulatory compliance with USDA and OLAW.  

    Additional services:

    • Establishing a program of veterinary care with regularly scheduled on-premise visits

    • Conducting semi-annual facility inspections

    • Providing CE and training to animal care staff, research scientists, and other personnel
