Support for Writing Grant Proposals to Outside Funding Agencies
The Office of Sponsored Research & Foundation Relations provides a variety of resources to assist faculty writing grant proposals to outside funding agencies. We would be happy to talk with you about all stages of the process, beginning with identifying funding sources, refining the grant proposal, finalizing budgets, submitting the grant, and managing the grant once awarded.
