Grant Services
Securing nondilutive funding from organizations like the NIH and Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) is essential for fueling research and development. Our team guides you through the requirements of these awards, helping you meet compliance and reporting standards. We support the full grant management cycle — from initial budgeting and financial tracking to final reporting and annual single audits — promoting accountability and continued stewardship of your critical research funding.
Management Advisory
As your company scales from clinical research to commercialization, your internal systems must evolve just as quickly. Our team’s strategic guidance optimizes your workforce, streamlines operations and enhances business processes. We refine areas such as financial reporting and internal controls, helping decision-makers turn data into meaningful direction. This focus on efficiency builds the operational foundation needed to support sustainable growth.
Cost Management Solutions
Managing the high costs of innovation is critical to continuing growth in life sciences. Weaver architects strategies to optimize your research and development (R&D) spend and control manufacturing costs to boost overall profitability. By refining R&D cost allocation and closely tracking project expenditures, we identify savings opportunities and support compliance with industry regulations and funding requirements.
Risk Management
Innovation in life sciences requires calculated risk, but ongoing growth depends on strong governance and control. We help you build enterprise-wide risk management programs that protect financial stability while supporting scientific progress. By assessing regulatory, financial and operational risks across your organization, we establish robust controls and governance frameworks that promote strategic certainty at every stage of the development lifecycle.
HIPAA Compliance
When your work involves clinical trials, digital therapeutics or data analytics, protecting patient health information (PHI) is non-negotiable. We help you comply with HIPAA privacy and security requirements by evaluating data controls, identifying risk areas and strengthening policies to align with federal standards. Our support focuses on safeguarding your reputation, reducing regulatory exposure and maintaining trust with patients, partners and investors.
Cybersecurity
Your intellectual property and proprietary research data are among your most important assets. We help protect these systems from sophisticated cyber threats and unauthorized access. Our team provides cybersecurity assessments, tailored policy development and incident response strategies designed for the unique environment of life sciences organizations, supporting business continuity and preserving the integrity of your breakthrough science.
Valuation Services
In life sciences, much of a company’s value resides in intangible intellectual property (IP) and complex financial instruments. Weaver provides data-driven valuations to support key events such as venture capital funding, merger and acquisition transactions and investor reporting. Our solutions deliver reliable valuations for acquisitions, funding rounds and equity compensation with the necessary accuracy and defensibility in every analysis to build investment credibility and drive growth.
Transaction Services
Whether your strategy involves an acquisition, divestiture or full exit, transactions require careful financial preparation. Weaver provides transaction support at every stage, from financial due diligence and deal structuring to post transaction integration. We help assess risks, optimize tax and perform quality of earnings reviews, giving leadership the insights needed to execute deals confidently.
CPRIT Grant Compliance Services
When you are awarded a grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to fund new research or product development, doors open to innovation, growth and prestige. Along with these opportunities, you also incur responsibilities to manage and report grant funds in compliance with complex CPRIT requirements. Our team manages annual single audits and agreed-upon procedures, simplifying alignment with CPRIT requirements.
