"SSCC has been a very important partner to our Office of Research and Grants. The expertise provided ranges from guidance on grant creation, federal regulations, pre- and post-award compliance, financial planning, building appropriate policy infrastructure, training faculty and PIs on responsible conduct in research, and many other considerations associated with research and grants. Most recently, the identification and interpretation of new directives from federal agencies has been a tremendous service."

“Shepard-Smith Compliance Consulting is like a Swiss Army knife for Trevecca Nazarene University. Their comprehensive services, including pre-award grant development, compliance administration, policy development, accreditation narratives, and government relations have truly helped our institution expand our mission and impact.”
Dr. Tom Middendorf, Provost,
Senior Vice President, and Chief of Staff Trevecca Nazarene University,
Nashville, Tennessee
“The guidance, expertise, and wisdom provided by SSCC, under the direction of Andrew Shepard-Smith, Managing Partner, was invaluable throughout our accreditation process, but what made the greatest impact was the thoughtfulness, integrity, patience, and kindness brought to every conversation. SSCC’s insights, professionalism, and sound recommendations helped Trevecca write with clarity and focus, providing a concise story to present to our accrediting body. SSCC didn’t just offer solutions—they listened, encouraged, and helped Trevecca’s Nursing Department see possibilities we might have missed on our own. Their presence gave us confidence in our work, and their perspective helped us move forward with clarity, renewed energy, and at times, even joy. SSCC’s contribution will be remembered with each nursing class who graduates from Trevecca for years to come. It is without hyperbole to say we could not have gone through the accreditation process without SSCC!”
