 The hub is a natural place to provide this central service.
 There exists a number of scenarios where RSE consultation services differ strongly in scale and format.
 We mention a few of these in the following.
-
 “One Off” consultations on any research software related aspect that are open to researchers of all career levels are
 a great introduction to the hub's RSE services and are offered by almost all RSE units already established [REF].
-Depending on the demand, these consultations can either be by appointment or in a more structured format where you book an appointment from available dates (\eg{} University of Sheffield's “Code Clinic”\footnote{At time of publication the appointment form could be access from the front page of the RSE unit’s website: \url{https://rse.shef.ac.uk/}} and Friedrich Schiller University’s Digital Research Clinic\footnote{At the time of publication upcoming clinic’s were advertised on the consulting page of the Competence Center For Digital Research’s website: \url{https://www.zedif.uni-jena.de/en/consulting.html}}).

-A larger scale format for RSE consultation services could be that a research project regularly (\eg{} quarterly or monthly) meets with an RSE in order to coordinate the research software efforts done in the research project.
+A larger scale format for RSE consultation services could be that a research project regularly meets with an RSE in order to coordinate the research software efforts done in the research project.
 This format enables valuable feedback cycles between researchers and RSEs and allows RSEs to guide the project
 towards successful software engineering best practices without overloading the researchers with information at a one-off consultation.
 When an RSE unit carries out many of these project consultations, they will gather valuable experiences in transferring RSE knowledge to practitioners.
-Having an RSE hub puts these experiences into institutional memory, allowing for better RSE practice in the future.

-RSE consultation services are also of great importance in proposal writing.
+RSE consultation services are also of great importance in the application process of grant proposals.
 Many proposals critically depend on research software to be developed and the requirements of funding agencies w.r.t.\ research software are growing and will continue to do so.
 Similar to dedicated RDM units that provide institutional support for data management plans,
 the RSE hub can support researchers by providing expertise with software management plans and the software engineering best practices required by these plans.
-With consultation services already involved in the proposal phase, improved proposal acceptance rates can be expected [REF], thereby amortising the investment into RSE units.
+Consultation services that are already involved in the proposal phase are expected to lead to an improved research workflow and thereby to better research.
+This should lead to improved proposal acceptance rates, thereby amortising the initial investment into RSE units.
