I looked into this about a year or so ago. At the time I phoned many
institutions asking for recommendations. The 2 that came up frequently
were/are:
1. Liane Reif-Lehrer, Ph.D. (Her specialty is NIH proposals. She
has also written a few books on the NIH process that I have found
helpful)
2. Bob Lucas, Ph.D. (His technique is geared more towards "getting
started"...how to take an idea and put it into writing) We had
him give a presentation at my institution that faculty found
helpful.
I can probably locate a phone number for each if you want it. It's
not readily avaliable right now.
