Summary

Lauren joined the Myriad Associates team in February 2016 as a Technical Consultant, supporting clients with the technical side of their R&D tax credit claims. Her skill at picking up new knowledge quickly led her to shift focus to grant writing in 2018. As part of Myriad’s Grants Division, she writes grant funding proposals for clients in Ireland, the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, and the United States.

When time between grant deadlines allows, she continues to help clients determine eligible projects and prepare technical reports for R&D tax credits. If you have a question about the technical side of a Tax Cloud claim, she’s the person to ask.

Before joining Myriad, Lauren worked in technical communication and consulting roles at various software companies. She is a member of the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators (ISTC).

Outside of work, Lauren spends a lot outside with her dogs, reads as much as possible, listens to podcasts while doing chores, and usually fails to beat her partner at Mario Kart.

What Lauren's clients say

"Lauren and the Myriad team helped us apply for and secure funding through the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF). Lauren was instrumental in our success, providing CergenX and the other consortium members with clear guidance, advice, and writing expertise. I look forward to continuing this working relationship, and I would recommend Lauren and the wider team to anyone applying for this or any other funding of this type."

"The Galenband team collaborated with Lauren through Myriad to prepare our grant submission. Throughout this process, Lauren demonstrated a wealth of knowledge, offering insights and clarity on the nuanced details of a grant application. This significantly expedited and streamlined the proposal and interview preparations. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Lauren during the grant agreement process and sincerely appreciate the support received thus far."

"We worked with Lauren and Marc at Myriad for over a year in preparing our submission for the EIC Accelerator, and they were a pleasure to work with during that time. They helped us with every step from proposal writing to interview preparation and were key to our success in securing the approval for a Grant-First Award of €2.5m followed by €6m in equity. We continue to work with Lauren and Marc since their experience is invaluable in the ongoing management of our grant, and it frees me up as CEO to focus on driving the business, knowing that I am in their safe, guiding hands. I couldn't recommend Lauren, Marc and Myriad highly enough!"
