Develop Proposal

Proposal development is a collaborative process that includes preparing the administrative and scientific portions of the proposal. In this phase, you and your University Research Administrator will work together on the administrative components including creating the project budget. When developing the scientific portion, we encourage you to seek feedback and support from colleagues in your department and college or school. Consider reaching out to your academic unit’s associate dean for research to inquire about proposal assistance that may be available. Make sure to discuss eligibility requirements with your URA. Some opportunities may limit the number of submissions by academic unit or institution. If this is the case, please review the Limited Submission policy and process.
