Proposal Preparation
OCG and, often, college staff are available to assist faculty who are interested in submitting a research proposal.
Research Administrators
In addition to the Division of Research's research administrators, many colleges have their own research administrators to assist faculty with identifying funding opportunities, electronically routing and submitting proposal documentation, securing necessary approvals from committees, managing the award, and closing out the award. Refer to this Research Administrative Services webpage to find out whether a college-based Research Administrator (CRA) is available to you and to find your point-of-contact at the University-level.
